German submarine U - 2342 German submarine " U - 2342 " was a short - lived Type XXIII U - boat of the German " Kriegsmarine " during the Second World War . She was built at Hamburg during 1944 as a modern Type XXIII " " Elektroboot e " " , a small coastal class designed to strike ships along the coastlines of Britain and liberated Europe , particularly the English Channel , although none ever served there . " U - 2342 " was placed under the command of Oblt . Berchtold Schad von Mittelbiberbach , an ex - Marine Sergeant Major who received a rapid promotion in the final months of 1944 . She was his first submarine experience . The fate of " U - 2342 " was not unusual , as the seas around the German coastline were subject to very heavy allied air attack during the final two years of the war , with the Royal Air Force seeking to restrict German movement by sowing thousands of air - dropped naval mines . This tactic delayed the production and training of new boats and disrupted coastal shipping . It also wrecked a number of new boats , including " U - 2342 " , before they had a chance to enter the Battle of the Atlantic . " U - 2342 " was travelling in a convoy of ten boats taking essential supplies and personnel to Norway on Boxing Day 1944 . The operation was highly secret , and submarines were used to disguise it from any prying reconnaissance aircraft . Whilst just north of Swinemünde , " U - 2342 " activated an air - dropped mine and fell out of the convoy , slowly sinking as the other boats carried on their passage northwards . Rescue vessels found some of the crew , but seven sailors , including the boat ' s captain were not found , lost in the explosion . Demolition experts blew up the wreck in 1954 to clear the seaway , and parts were taken to shore , where they were broken up for scrap .
