<HTML>Hi Wiljan,
You are right, that only U2511 and 3008 went on actual war patrols other than the transfer trips from the Baltic to Norway (some count this as a war patrol, after all a few boats were lost on this trip). However, with very few exceptions all the boats in Norway were considered "Frontreif", i.e. not anymore in the training phase.
Exceptions referred to above was the initial time used after arrival in Norway in deep dive experimentation of (among others) U2506, 2511, 2529 and 3008. Rgds, RB</HTML>
