U-110 Mystery Cache

Many historians’ view this as the most important capture of the entire war and it was so secret that even the crew of U-110 did not know of it!

U-110 had been attacking a convoy along with U-201 when Lemp left his periscope up too long (probably to confirm a kill). The escort HMS Aubretia spotted it and rushed to the scene dropping depth charges. U-110 survived the first attacks but HMS Bulldog and HMS Broadway soon joined the hunt. The U-boat was forced to surface and HMS Bulldog immediately went onto ramming course. Lemp believed that his submarine would be sunk and ordered "Abandon Ship" but Bulldog’s commander realized at the very last moment that a capture might come off and tried to avoid hitting U-110 (which he almost did).

Lemp figured that since the boat was going to be rammed and presumably sunk, its secrets were safe within. Only when he was in the water did he realize that the boat was not sinking and attempted to swim back and prevent capture. That was the last seen of him - some say that a British sailor shot him in the water to prevent him from scuttling the submarine but this has never been confirmed.

If you have stumbled on this cache listing by accident then what follows will mean nothing to you!

If you have completed the first five 'missions', then you should have a key to the machine settings and, Hopefully, you will have access to the correct machine as well.

This is the last piece of information that you need to set the machine correctly:
    A* = Number of rotors
    B* = Reflector
    C* = Thin rotor
    D* = Wheel order
    E* = Ring settings
    F* = Stecker pairs
    G* = Indicator settings

These are the initial settings. If you make a mistake, then you must reset the machine and start again.

No travel bugs in this cache please.

Why?
1.  Because the listed coordinates are several hundred miles away from the actual location of the cache
2.  Because the difficulty level means that the cache will have a low visitor frequency.

Cache contents
The theme of the enigma missions has been puzzles and so the contents of the cache are mostly puzzles. Please try to maintain this theme with your swaps. Thanks, and good luck.
