At 18.25 hours, the outbound boat was strafed and attacked with 4 bombs by a Czech Wellington aircraft (RAF Sqdn 311 / H, pilot F/O J. Nıvlt) in the Bay of Biscay. The boat fired with the 20mm AA gun during the first attack and recieved 6 more bombs after crash-diving.
U-135 only suffered minor damage, but one crewman had been killed by gunfire and another died of wounds one hour after the attack. [Matrosenobergefreiter Emil Hafner, Matrosenobergefreiter Erhard Pömpner]
