Attacks on U-441 during this patrol
24 May 1943
Aircraft attack, aircraft shot down: British Sunderland EJ139 (228 Sqdn RAF/L, pilot F/O H.J. Debnam)
At 20.50 hours, the Flak boat was attacked by the Sunderland in the Bay of Biscay. The aircraft was hit heavily during the attack run, but managed to drop 5 depth charges before it crashed, killing all 11 crewmen. The explosions extensively damaged U-441 and a crewman had been wounded by strafing, so the boat had to return to base. This was the first success of the Flak boats. (Sources: Franks/Zimmerman)
