Previously recorded fate (Last revised by Axel Niestlé during October 1991). More on revised fates
The attack by Czechoslovakian Liberator aircraft (Sqdn. 311/L) which is sometimes credited for sinking (or damaging it so badly that it had to be scuttled) was probably against a nonsub target.
Men lost from U-boats
Unlike many other U-boats, which during their service lost men due to accidents and various other causes, U-2365 did not suffer any casualties (we know of) until the time of her loss.
