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.
