However , once war began , it was painfully clear that " U - 6 " and her sisters were not capable of competing with other nations ' larger and faster boats , and so after an initial patrol in the Baltic Sea , " U - 6 " was not deployed again until March 1940 , when every ship available to the " Kriegsmarine " was sent to support the invasion of Norway . During the month - long campaign , " U - 6 " ' s sister boats suffered numerous losses , and gained a reputation as something of a liability , which led them to be withdrawn to a training squadron in the Baltic for the remainder of the war .

There she remained until May 1945 , when a demolition team blew her up at her berth to prevent her falling into enemy hands .
