Service history

U-1277 is unusual in so much that it either did not receive Dönitz's surrender order on 8 May 1945, or chose to ignore it. What is known is that she continued her patrol in the North Atlantic for a further month, her crew finally scuttling her on 3 June 1945 off the northern coast of Portugal. All 47 crew disembarked safely from their sinking boat in rubber dinghies and made their way ashore, landing on the beach at Angeiras, Portugal. There they were interned by the Portuguese authorities, and handed over to a British warship a few days later. The crew were not released from a POW camp until 1947.

The wreck now lies in Шаблон:Convert of water at Шаблон:Coord.
