Schnorchel-fitted U-boat
This boat was fitted with a Schnorchel underwater-breathing apparatus and sailed equipped with it in November 1944 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-775 did not suffer any casualties (we know of) until the time of her loss.
 | We have an emblem for this boat! You can view it here. (The emblem on the left is not the emblem for this boat). |
