General notes on this boat
This was one of 3 boats that did not leave Norway for Britain after the war as she was not seaworthy. The other boats were U-926 and U-1202.
Schnorchel-fitted U-boat
This boat was fitted with a Schnorchel underwater-breathing apparatus in February 1945. 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-324 did not suffer any casualties (we know of) until the time of her loss.
