Dear Platon,
Do not forget an other first:
U-864 at Schnorkel depth was sank by Brittish U-boat "Venturer" at periscope depth on 09-02-1945 west from Bergen near the island of Helliso(e) at 60-46'North and 04-35' East. All hands (73) were lost. U-864 was a type IX-d2 bound for Penang with a complete Me-163 rocketplane in crates and all the blueprints for building the Me-262 jetfighter. There were also several Luftwaffe officers/engineers on board
Kind regards
