Attacks on U-422 during this patrol
23 Sep 1943
The boat was depth charged and gunned by an allied aircraft (reported by the boat as "Halifax"). The boat suffered 3 men wounded, two of them seriously. Asking for medical assistance the boat finally met the tanker U-460 on the 29th of September. (Sources: Blair, vol 2, page 424)
4 Oct 1943
While being refueled by U-460 (along with U-264 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-422 was then attacked later in the day and sunk. (Sources: Blair, vol 2, page 429)
