Attacks on this boat
16 Feb 1945
The U-boat was attacked and damaged by a Polish Wellington aircraft (RAF-Sqdn 304/Q) west of the North Channel. (Sources: Dr. Jürgen Rohwer)
1 recorded attack on this boat.
Schnorchel-fitted U-boat
This boat was fitted with a Schnorchel underwater-breathing apparatus and sailed equipped with it in February 1945 but it was of course installed prior to that date. Read more about the Schnorchel and see list of fitted boats.
Men lost from U-boats
Unlike many other U-boats, which during their service lost men due to accidents and various other causes, U-1019 did not suffer any casualties (we know of) until the time of her loss.
