Fate

Transferred from Horten, Norway to Lisahally on 31 May, 1945.

Became a British N type submarine. Used for tests. Broken up at Briton Ferry, Wales in May 1949.

Men lost from U-boats

Unlike many other U-boats, which during their service lost men due to accidents and various other causes, U-1108 did not suffer any casualties (we know of) until the time of her loss.
