Previously recorded fate (Last revised by Axel Niestlé during April 1991). More on revised fates
The attack by an American B-24 Liberator (VPB-103/K) on 25 April previously credited for this boat actually resulted in the sinking of U-326.
Schnorchel-fitted U-boat
This boat was fitted with a Schnorchel underwater-breathing apparatus and sailed equipped with it in March 1945 but it was of course installed prior to that date. Read more about the Schnorchel and see list of fitted boats.
Men lost from U-boats
Unlike many other U-boats, which during their service lost men due to accidents and various other causes, U-1107 did not suffer any casualties (we know of) until the time of her loss.
