Attacks on U-1062 during this patrol
21 Dec 1943
Aircraft attack, aircraft shot down: Canadian Beaufighter LZ452 (404 Sqdn RCAF/H, pilot F/O I. Gillespie, RCAF) Canadian Beaufighter NE323 (404 Sqdn RCAF/F, pilot F/L R. Munro, RCAF)
At 11.30 hours, the boat was attacked by Beaufighters south of Egersund, while en route to Bergen escorted by the German minesweeper M-403. 4 Beaufighters of 144 Sqdn RAF carried torpedoes and 4 Beaufighters of 404 Sqdn RCAF acted as flak suppressors. U-1062 was slightly damaged by strafing but the torpedoes missed. The AA fire from both vessels brought down two Beaufighters, killing all four crewmen.
