ABSTRACT

With each known U-boat wreck now surveyed or evaluated, it is possible to draw up an accurate list of wrecks known as of 2012 (when the original research was fi rst completed) and make insightful comparisons to what was known of the U-boat losses when the 1946 List (NA ADM 199/1789) was published. As described in Chapter One, there is a raft of questions that it was anticipated this exercise could answer. They will be addressed in this chapter as we attempt to draw together a more accurate picture of the U-boats destroyed during the Inshore Campaign and how they met their fates.
