According to H.Werner extremely detailed testimony, they sent out even those without snorkel (at this time his own U-Boat didn’t have snorkel)… a following each other by night on surface, with the order to fight incoming planes … they didn’t made it very far and many were very badly damaged.
What’s incredible is they had the suicide order to ram ennemy ships after being out of torp!
H.Werner made it back once more, very luckily.
