Laid down at the end of October, launched in mid-January (2 1/2 months), comissioned in mid-Febuary (3 1/2 months from being laid down). We know that the yards were using upgraded techniques but there was also a continuous bombing campaign going on and the Allies were pushing up to and across the Rhine at the time. Add in the dire shortage of materials to the mix. The building of this submarine was truly a remarkable acheivement.
