General Events during this patrol
1942
12 Jun 1942. Saboteur landings in America
The boat departed Brest, France for a very special patrol on 27 May, 1942. On 12 June, after crossing the Atlantic (submerged at day, surfaced at night) they landed a saboteur team of 4 men on Long Island, USA. This was one of two such teams that landed within a week of each other on the US east coast, the other team came aboard U-584. They were to be the first of many such planned operations. The boat then returned safely to Brest on 25 July.
