Service history and fate

U-2524 was commissioned on 16 January 1945 and assigned to the 31st U-boat Flotilla at Hamburg for working up and training. She had not completed this and had carried out no war patrols before being forced to flee the advancing Allied armies.

Sources vary as to her fate: Kemp and Tarrant report she was attacked on 3 May 1945 by Beaufighters from 236 and 254 Squadrons east of Samso and hit with rocket and cannon fire. Kemp states she was left burning and was seen to explode; Tarrant states she survived but was scuttled later. However Niestle states simply that she was scuttled on 3 May 1945, in the Kattegat southeast of the island of Fehmarn. One man was killed but the rest of the crew survived.

The wreck is believed to be located at Шаблон:Coord.
