The U-boat war in Maps

The English Channel

The first 3 U-boat lost in the Channel were U-12, U-16 and U-40 in 1939. Then U-boats avoided the Channel for the most part due to fear of large allied minefields there. 18 boats were lost in June - August 1944 when they tried to attack the allied landings at Normandy against overwhelming odds (over 1,200 allied warships). The last boats to be sunk here were U-1063, U-1195, U-275 and U-772 in Dec 44 - April 1945.

The darkened area on the map is the area in which the following boats were lost; U-247, U-333, U-399, U-480, U-681, U-927,
U-1018, U-1169, U-1199, U-1208 and U-1209.

U-683, U-1055 and U-1191 are listed as missing in the Channel.
