231 U-boats lost in 1944 (7,876 men died and 2,407 men survived those losses).
+ means that the boat was lost with all hands.

18 U-boats stricken from records (often after sustaining prior combat damage) and boats scuttled in harbour by their own crews are not included in the losses figure here. We, however, include them in the listing for better view of events.

U-boats scuttled at sea after battle damage are considered war losses and are shown above.
