German submarine U-252 was a Type VIIC U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II. The submarine was laid down on 1 November 1940 at the Vegesacker Werft at Bremen as yard number 17, launched on 14 August 1941 and commissioned on 4 October under the command of Kapitänleutnant Gunter Schiebusch.
Schiebusch was replaced by Kapitänleutnant Kai Lerchen on 21 December 1941. After training with the 6th U-boat Flotilla at Kiel, U-252 was deemed to be ready for front-line service and sailed on her first patrol on 1 April 1942.
On 6 April 1942, U-252 landed espionage agent Ib Riis in Iceland.[1]
U-252 is thought to have sunk the 1,355 GRT Norwegian Fanefield on 9 April.[2] Five days later she encountered convoy OG 82, and was attacked and sunk by depth charges from the sloop Шаблон:HMS and the corvette Шаблон:HMS on 14 April 1942.Шаблон:Sfn[3]
