>In Berlin, the German High Command pointed up the prospects with an ecstatic communique: "In the snowstorms of the North Atlantic, the glaring sun of the Equator and the autumnal storms at the Cape of Good Hope, German submarines have sunk in the last five days, in fierce, tenacious fighting, 23 ships totaling 134,000 tons.
