German submarine U-192

German submarine U-192 was a very short-lived Type IXC/40 U-boat of the Nazi German Kriegsmarine built during World War II for service in the Battle of the Atlantic. During her maiden voyage in May 1943 she disappeared without a trace, along with her 55 crew.

She was built in Bremen during 1942 and was ready to sail in April 1943, following four months of working-up trials in the Baltic Sea, under the command of Oberleutnant Werner Happe.

War patrol
Nothing is known of U-192's only war patrol following her departure from Kiel. She radioed in basic progress reports for the first three fruitless weeks of operation, but nothing came after the beginning of May, and by June she was given up for lost, as there had been no contact or sightings for a month. Post-war, allied investigators reported that she may have been lost in an attack on Convoy SC-128, where the Flower class corvette HMS Loosestrife (K105) reported attacking a submarine on the 6 May close to where U-192 was supposed to be. However, the results of the attack were not conclusive as the submarine was not confirmed sunk or identified, the true fate of U-192 will probably never be known, except she was lost somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.
