General notes on this boat
This was one of 3 boats that did not leave Norway for Britain after the war as she was not seaworthy. The other boats were U-324 and U-926.
Schnorchel-fitted U-boat
This boat was fitted with a Schnorchel underwater-breathing apparatus and sailed equipped with it in October 1944 but it was of course installed prior to that date.
Read more about the Schnorchel and see list of fitted boats.
Men lost from U-boats
Unlike many other U-boats, which during their service lost men due to accidents and various other causes, U-1202 did not suffer any casualties (we know of) until the time of her loss.
