Attacks on U-212 during this patrol
14 Jan 1944
At 21.30 hours, the outbound boat was strafed and attacked with 4 bombs by an unknown Leigh-Light equipped aircraft in the Bay of Biscay. The bombs fell wide and the boat was not damaged, but the 37mm AA gun had malfunctioned after the first shot and the barrel of a 20mm AA gun burst when fighting off a second strafing attack.

25 Feb 1944
The boat met U-549 (Krankenhagen) north of the Azores to hand over a Naxos and Borkum radar detection device. At 19.53 hours, they were attacked by an unknown Catalina aircraft and while the other boat dived, U-212 fought off a first attack and then dived herself. The boats suffered no damage and the transfer was completed shortly afterwards. (Sources: Ritschel)
