Surrender of submarine

German submarine U 236 coming alongside U 826, with the White Ensign flying, for inspection by British naval officers at Loch Eriboll, the north-westernmost inlet of Scotland. Before surrendering on May 11, 1945, U 826 had been on operational duties for more than five weeks, participated in one war patrol that yielded no ships sunk or damaged. The surviving 33 German U-boats formally surrendered here in 1945, ending the Battle of the Atlantic.

Curious as neither of the two lives of U236 ended in Scotland.
No ships were indeed sunk or damaged as it was a training boat.

Sunk on 14 May 1943 inside pontoon No. 5 of the Germaniawerft shipyard in Kiel, by bombs during US air raid (8th AF). No casualties.

Raised on 22 May 1943, repaired and returned to service on 29 September 1943.

Scuttled on 5 May 1945 in the Baltic Sea west of Schleimünde, in position 54.37N, 10.03E, after being damaged by air attack of British Typhoon aircraft (184 and 245 Sqn RAF) the day before. No casualties.
