Service history
The submarine was laid down on 21 November 1942 at the Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft yard at Flensburg as yard number 493, launched on 24 September 1943 and commissioned on 19 November under the command of Oberleutnant zur See Karl Nielsen.
She served with the 4th U-boat Flotilla from 19 November 1943, the 8th flotilla from 1 August 1944 and was back with the 4th flotilla on 16 February 1945.
U-370 spent her entire career in the relatively confined waters of the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Finland.
First to fifth patrols
The boat's first patrol was preceded by trips from Kiel to Marviken and then back to Kiel, from where she departed on 9 July 1944. She sailed through the Baltic and into the Gulf of Finland, arriving at Reval, (now Tallinn in Estonia),[1] on 12 July.
She spent the rest of her career in the Ostsee, sinking the Soviet Patrol boat MO-101 in Björkö Sound on 31 July 1944 during her fifth patrol.

Fate
U-370 was scuttled in Geltinger Bucht (east of Flensburg) on 5 May 1945. The wreck was broken up in 1948.
