Service history
After training with the 5th U-boat Flotilla, she moved to the 1st flotilla for front-line service in December 1942.
The boat carried out five patrols, sinking one ship.
She was a member of ten wolfpacks.
First patrol
The boat's first patrol was very brief; starting and finishing in Kiel on 12 and 13 November 1942.
Second patrol
Her second foray also started in Kiel, but terminated in Brest in occupied France after passing between the Faroe and Shetland Islands. She sank the Belgian tanker President Francqui on 29 December 1942 north of the Azores. The ship had already been hit by two torpedoes. U-336 finished her off with a 'coup de grâce'.
Third patrol
The submarine's third sortie was again into the mid-Atlantic. She spent days scouring the empty wastes, but returned to Brest without success.
Fourth patrol
