Schlott served an officer on the U-703 (Brünner) serving mostly in the Arctic. He then went on to commander training and ended up commanding the U-2329.
Oblt. Heinrich Schlott was one of the youngest U-boat commanders during WWII when he left for his patrol with U-2329 from Stavanger, Norway on 11 April 1945. He was only 22 years old at the time. He brought his boat to Stavanger 16 days later.
After the war
Schlott was very fond of Norway and often took vacations and treks there with his brothers after the war. He studied philosophy and played the piano. He died in his home town at the age of 74 (information from his brother Hans Joachim).
