The inbound boat, then having rescued the crew of U-284 scuttled on Dec 21, 1943 and thus had about 100 Germans on-board, was attacked by the Polish Wellington HF185 (304 Sqdn RAF/2B, pilot F/O Hieronim Czyzun) in the Bay of Biscay. U-629 was heavily damaged by the six depth charges and strafing, but managed to call for help and reach Brest the next day.

12 Mar 1944
At 06.05 hours, the outbound boat was illuminated by Leigh Light and attacked with 4 depth charges by a British Wellington aircraft (612 Sqdn RAF/C, pilot F/S D. Bretherton) in the Bay of Biscay. AA fire damaged the tail and the rear gunner had a lucky escape because he had not been in his position when the attack was made and later discovered that a round had passed through his empty turret from bottom to top. U-629 was severely damaged and had to abort its patrol. (Sources: Franks/Zimmerman)
