Jakarta February 1945
U-200 IXD2 sails off for - probably her last patrol.
In every front things are bad.

February 20 1945
U-200 is surprised on the surface some 2000Km west of Darwin by a B-17 Flying Fortress bearing USAF markings.
There was no time to dive so the crew manned the flak guns and started firing.
The aircraft dropped its bombs from a safe distance and left.
Despite manouvering a stick of bombs fell close wounding the M42 gun crew and Kptltn Hanz Hacker who was on the bridge at the time.

The Kaluen's condition was critical , so his XO Obltnt zS Adolf Garin took command. Adolf was a hardcore Nazi still believing in the Third Reich's victory. So he ordered to set sail to the Australian coast to leave his CO there and then he was planning to go to Argentina.

February 22 1945
U-200 was out of luck. The night was moonless and foggy. The radar detector malfunctoned and she was surprised by two HMAS destroyers.
U-200 was sunk with all hands.
