Attacks on U-275 during this patrol
22 Jul 1944
An aircraft discovered the boat when she rose to periscope depth to take bearings and vectored in a British hunter-killer group that pursued the boat for 7 hours before the boat managed to shake them off. (Sources: Blair, vol 2, page 604)
24 Jul 1944
When the boat arrived at Bay of Seine she was hunted for 8 hours by a hunter-killer group but managed to elude its pursuers once again. After that each time she raised her periscope the boat was attacked again and finally managed to enter Boulogne on Aug 1. Date is approximate. (Sources: Blair, vol 2, page 604)
