Service history
In seven patrols she sank eight ships for a total of Шаблон:GRT, plus two warships and one auxiliary warship.

In addition she took part in five wolfpacks, namely:
- Pfeil (12 – 22 September 1942)
- Blitz (22 – 26 September 1942)
- Tiger (26 – 30 September 1942)
- Delphin (4 – 10 November 1942)

She ran aground on 12 September 1943 at position Шаблон:Coord near Melilla after a sustained air attack by Leigh light-equipped RAF Wellington bombers from 179 Squadron.
All crew members were able to evacuate the stricken sub and subsequently interned by the Spanish authorities. They were later repatriated to Germany.
