Attacks on U-135 during this patrol
8 Feb 1943
14.45 hrs, Atlantic, west of Cornwall: the boat was attacked near convoy SC-118by British Liberator (RAF Sqdn 120/K, pilot Bryan W. Turnbull) which dropped 4 depth charges. Although taken by surprise, U-135 fought off the first attack and then dived. Damage was repaired, and the boat continued its patrol, but other leaks were found later that forced them to return to Lorient on 28 February. (Sources: Rohwer/Ritschel)
