01JUN44 U-1225, Type IXC/40 (3 patrols)

Details of Loss
U-1225 was the last U-boat to leave Lorient, doing so under enemy gunfire and air attack. U-1225 was heavily damaged by depth bombs while attempting to find a way past the anti-submarine nets the Allies had placed across the mouth of the estuary at Lamor-Piages and Gavres. Despite this, KptLt. Unger guided U-1225 past the ASW vessels patrolling outside the sub-net and escaped across the Bay of Biscay. While en route to Bergen, U-1225 encountered and sank 7 vessels totalling 36,124 tons. While maneuvering to attack the last of these, U-1225 was severly damaged by VLR Liberators flying out of Iceland. Despite losing one diesel engine, Unger was able to complete the attack. U-1225 was sunk the next day, October 12, 1944, by an RCAF Catalina, north of the Faeroe Islands.

Summary
3 war patrols, 43 sea days
7 ships sunk, 36,124 tons
17 aircraft shot down

Kapitaenleutnant Hermann Unger and U-1225 were lost on 12OCT44.

Leutnant z. S. Hans Ackermann and U-133 were lost sometime on 10APR42.

Leutnant Ackermann was lost when following a small British convoy in the Bay of Biscay. The A&B Class depth charged U133 causing the batteries to be destroyed and heavy flooding to take place. Ackermann ordered a emergency surface, and just as U133 surfaced, the merchants fired upon the bridge. U133 then sank to its end killing all hands.
