About the wreck
German submarine U-827 was a Type VIIC/41 U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during the Second World War. She was ordered on 8 June 1942, laid down on 7 August 1943 at Schichau-Werke, Danzig, West Prussia.
She had two commanders, from 25 May 1944 until March 1945 it was Kapitänleutnant Wilhelm Hunck and then, from 26 April 1945 until 5 May 1945, she had Kapitänleutnant Kurt Baberg.
The U-boat saw no action and was scuttled on 5 May 1945 in Flensburg Fjord. The wreck was broken up in 1948.
