Attacks on U-212 during this patrol
14 Jan 1944
21.30 hrs, Bay of Biscay, outbound: a British B-24 Liberator (224 Sqn RAF/F) strafed the boat in a Leigh Light attack, also dropping four depth charges. The depth charges fell wide and caused no damage, but the 37mm AA gun malfunctioned after the first shot, and the barrel of a 20mm AA gun burst when fighting off a second strafing attack.
