Attacks on U-427 during this patrol
29 Apr 1945
During an attack on convoy RA.66 U-427 unsuccessfully attacked two of its escorts, the Canadian destroyers HMCS Haida and Iroquois. The escorts fought back and dropped a total of 678 depth charges on U-427's believed position during a several hour long hunt. Through some good luck and no doubt equal skill the U-boat escaped the area. This is believed to the second last attack on an Arctic convoy.
