I don't know how to create the artical correctly, so could somebody give me a hand pz. Here is the neccissary info:

Karl-Heinrich Harlfinger 6 Apr, 1944 - 25 Jun, 1944 Oblt. Georg Uhl

Career 5 patrols 19 Aug, 1942 - 31 Mar, 1943 8. Flottille (training) 1 Apr, 1943 - 31 Oct, 1943 11. Flottille (front boat) 1 Nov, 1943 - 25 Jun, 1944 6. Flottille (front boat)

Successes No ships sunk or damaged Fate Sunk 25 June, 1944 in the Channel south-east of Torquay, in position 50.01N, 02.59W, by depth charges from the British frigate HMS Bickerton. 13 dead and 39 survivors.

The wreck was located in 1951 during the search for the British submarine HMS Affray, which sank with all hands on 16 April, 1951 when her snorkel mast broke off near Alderney.

Men lost from U-boats Unlike many other U-boats, which during their service lost men due to accidents and various other causes, U-269 did not suffer any casualties (we know of) until the time of her loss.
