On Monday, 22 July 1940, left Kaseburg for final repairs from damages sustained during AGRU-Front and for pre-war patrol preparation in Kiel.

Arrived at Germania Werft, Kiel-Gaarden, on Tuesday, 23 July 1940.

During the time in the shipyard, the crew was given two weeks of leave in two shifts, with one week overlapping.

A Boatswain's mate 2cl and a Fireman 3cl, were transferred to other U-Boat's. They were replaced by a Boatswain's mate 1cl and a Fireman 2cl, for their first post-training deployment.
