U-1007 was strafed and attacked with rockets by four Typhoon aircraft (RAF Sqdn 245, pilots F/Lt F.S. Murphy, F/O F.J. Pearson, W/O K.D. Woddan and F/Sgt C.M.

Men lost from U-boats
Unlike many other U-boats, which during their service lost men due to accidents and various other causes, U-1007 did not suffer any casualties (we know of) until the time of her loss.
