U-65 - IXB - Kaleu Hansen - Apr 10th 1945 - Trondheim - Patrol 31
We were back in Trondheim in the afternoon of April 8th. A sperrbrecher met us out in the fjord and escorted us to DORA - the U-boot bunker in Trondheim.

An inspection of U-65 showed it to be beyond repair with the spares and facilities presently available in Trondheim. Hull integrity was 10%. Little help is expected from Germany as the situation there is rather chaotic. The crew is being spread on other vessels and I am relieved of my command and transferred to Training, awaiting transport to Germany.
