Attacks on U-332 during this patrol
21 Mar 1943
The boat was attacked by a British Leight-light Wellington bomber (Sqdn 172, pilot I. D. Prebble) and seriously damaged, left unable to dive. Asking for assistance Luftwaffe sent 4 Ju88 bombers to escort him in but they were attacked by British Beufighters and shot down (2) or driven off (2). Meanwhile the boat was repaired enough to dive to shallow depths and managed to return to base. (Sources: Blair, vol 2, page 267)
