Attacks on U-441 during this patrol
12 Jul 1943
The Flak boat was strafed by three British Beaufighter aircraft (248 Squadron RAF) in the Bay of Biscay. 10 men were killed and 13 more wounded, including all of the naval officers. Hartmann was wounded, so the doctor Paul Pfaffinger took over the command, recovered the wounded and brought the boat safely back to Brest. He recieved the Deutsche Kreuz in Gold for this feat. This action let to the abandonment of the Flak boats and all were reverted to their orginal configuration. (Sources: Franks/Zimmerman)
