German submarine U-200
German submarine "U-200" was a Type IXD2 U-boat of Nazi Germany's "Kriegsmarine" during World War II.
The submarine was laid down on 3 November 1941 at the AG Weser yard at Bremen as yard number 1046, launched on 10 August 1942 and commissioned on 22 December 1942 under the command of "Korvettenkapitän" Heinrich Schonder. After training with the 4th U-boat Flotilla at Stettin, the boat was transferred to the 12th U-boat Flotilla for front-line service from
damaging the submarine. The next day the German submarine U-14 (1935) launched a torpedo at "Sep", but it exploded prematurely. On 4 September "Orzel"'s captain, Lieutenant Commander Henryk Kłoczkowski, deemed it impossible to continue with the operation in his sector, and decided to withdraw into the Baltic Sea. The submarine was attacked by the German minesweepers "M3" and "M4". One depth charge exploded just above "Orzel", knocking out all lights and sending it crashing into the sea bed
