Attacks on U-415 during this patrol
30 Oct 1943
Aircraft attack, aircraft shot down: British Wellington HF205 (612 Sqdn RAF/C, pilot F/O R.S. Yeadon)
At 05.42 hours the outbound boat was attacked by the Leigh Light equipped Wellingon in the Bay of Biscay north of Cape Ortegal. The aircraft made a strafing attack and dropped four depth charges, but had been hit by AA fire and crashed into the sea about 50 metres behind U-415, killing all six crewmen. The boat had to abort its patrol due to damages sustained.
