Service history

U-1227 completed only one combat patrol, from 14 September until 26 December 1944. On 4 October 1944 she attempted to attack a convoy at night, but was seen in the bright moonlight and counter-attacked by convoy escorts. She torpedoed one of the escorts, the Canadian Шаблон:Sclass2 Шаблон:HMCS, during the pursuit. The frigate was a total loss, but the U-boat escaped and continued its patrol.[2]

Fate

U-1227 was damaged at Kiel in a British night-bombing raid on 9 April 1945, and was decommissioned there on 10 April. U-1227 was scuttled to avoid capture on 3 May 1945.[1]
