Also, you should start a search query at the WAst. They can provide details about your fathers career.

Another venue is the Deutsches Bundesarchive, Zweigstelle Militärgeschichte in Freiburg, where you may be able to get a copy of the war diaries of U-270.

The WAst, or Deutsche Dienstelle is the branch that has the personal documents and files from members of the German armed forces during WW2 under its control.
