Previously recorded fate
(Last revised by FDS/NHB and Axel Niestlé during January 1992. More on revised fates.)
Sunk 20 March, 1945 southeast of the Faeroes, in position 59.42N, 04.55W, by air-launched homing torpedoes from a British Liberator (Sqdn. 120/B).
This attack was probably against a nonsub target.
Schnorchel-fitted U-boat
This boat was fitted with a Schnorchel underwater-breathing apparatus in November 1944. 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-905 did not suffer any casualties (we know of) until the time of her loss.
