March 1st, 1945. Type VIIC U-28 leaves Bergen, Norway for a late war patrol in the North Sea. The captain already had some 400 000 GRT on his success record, but the latest months have been tough and he only sank some 35 000 GRT during his last patrol.
After leaving port and whilst plotting a course through the Norwegian fjord to reach the ocean, the crew and several ships around them spot several american B-17s. They attack both the port and the ships in it, and the U-28 is hit by heavy machine gun fire, and is damaged by a nearby bomb explosion, she looses alot of her important equipment in the attack and starts to take on water, and the captain decides to turn around to port.
She just made it into port, although half-submerged. 3 crewmen from the engine room were lost.
