General notes on this boat
Wreck was still in this location in August 1953.
The wreck was probably blown up during 30 Oct - 3 Nov, 1954 and further broken up at Karlshagen.
Men lost from U-boats
Unlike many other U-boats, which during their service lost men due to accidents and various other causes, U-2342 did not suffer any casualties (we know of) until the time of her loss.
