Which submarine can this be? (Svolvær, Norway 1945)

Hi!

I'm researching some events after the capitulation in may 1945. When a Norwegian veteran warship "Tordenskjold" – called Nymphe and used as anti-air by the germans - crashed to shore 17th of May near Svolvær in Lofoten, a submarine and it's crew were among the germans.

I know the name of some of the crew:


Oberleutnant z.see: Helmut Köchter
A local historian has a name from the crew signed "Möhlmann", that he claims was the captain of this submarine.
The submarine crew came from Narvik, and were sent to Svolvær before they were supposed to be transfered to a captive camp Bogen the 17th of may. The submarine is there because it's mentioned in some documents I have. It's still in the area in 9th of june, so it's not among the subs that were sent away 15th of may that I found on this site. It might be connected to the anti-air boat Nymphe/Tordenskjold as a smaller vessel? I have no idea :)


With these names and the mention of a submarine, does anyone here know which sub and crew this might be?


Also have a document who names an oberleutnant z. see: Zuck, who might be from the Nymphe crew. But for all I know is among the sub crew.
