Attacks on U-106 during this patrol
2 Aug 1943
The boat was attacked by a Canadian Wellington (407 Sqn RCAF/C) in the Bay of Biscay and straddled by six depth charges, one of which one actually bounced off the stern and exploded close nearby. Severe damage forced U-106 to make for port, and despite at first managing to keep the shadowing aircraft at a distance, other Allied forces vectored to the area located and sank her in the evening.
