About the wreck
German submarine U-841 was a Type IXC/40 U-boat built for Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II.
U-841 was ordered on 20 January 1941 from DeSchiMAG AG Weser in Bremen under the yard number 1047. Her keel was laid down on 21 March 1942 and after seven months of construction the U-boat was launched on 21 October 1942. On 6 February 1943 she was commissioned into service under the command of Oberleutnant zur See Werner Bender (Crew 36) in the 4th U-boat Flotilla.
A submarine U-841 appeared in the fictional 1970 film The McKenzie Break, rescuing German submariner escapees from a British prisoner-of-war camp.
