Found it though, in Clay Blair's second U-Boat book. It was U-432 commanded by Hermann Eckhardt. He was celebrating sinking the destroyer Harvester - which was dead in the water after sustaining prop damage ramming another U-Boat. Twenty of the crew of U-432 survived and were picked up, which is why we know the story.
