U-869
From Warlike
German submarine U-869 was a Type IXC/40 U-boat of the German Navy (Kriegsmarine) during World War II; her keel was laid down 5 April 1943 by Deutsche Schiff- und Maschinenbau AG Weser of Bremen. It was commissioned on 26 January 1944 with Kapitänleutnant Hellmut Neuerburg in command. The German Kriegsmarine lost contact with the submarine on 11 February 1945, and it was long assumed she had been sunk in combat somewhere along the Moroccan coastline with all hands lost. However, the wreck of U-869 was discovered off the coast of New Jersey in 1991.
