Attacks on U-264 during this patrol
4 Oct 1943
While being refueled by U-460 (along with U-422 and U-455) the boats were attacked by Avenger aircraft from the escort carrier Card. After putting up heavy flak the smaller VIIC boats dived leaving U-460 on the surface. She was destroyed when she also tried to dive. U-264 was then attacked later in the day but escaped again but this time seriously damaged and had to abort patrol. (Sources: Blair, vol 2, page 429)
