She was sunk 28 off March 1943 by a Lockheed A28 Hanson just off the coast at Peñón de Ifach en Calpe, en las coordenadas 38º 33” 309 N- 000º 14” 85 E. 9 survivors, 36 dead and 2 missing. It was her 15´th patrol. Some off the dead was buried at the local cemetery. U-77 had served in the 7 and 23 and was in the 29´th when she was sunk. Her first commander was Heinrich Schonder and her second was Otto Hartmann. He was only 26 years old. Life was tough and short in the u-boats.

Nice find! The crew must have entered the "How many men can you fit on top a U-Boat?" contest.
