U 1000 was a German U-boat of the type VII C / 41 , which in the Second World War by the German Navy was used.
Commissioned in Hamburg in November 1943, it was relocated to Egersund in Norway in June 1944 after a trial phase . During his only patrol off the Norwegian coast to the Arctic Circle , there was no contact with the enemy. Then U 1000 was relocated to Bergen . On this trip two Norwegian soldiers of the British Royal Air Force , whose De Havilland DH.98 Mosquitos had been shot down by U 804 two days earlier , were rescued from distress.
On August 9, 1944 U 1000 was relocated to the Baltic Sea . On its way to Reval , U 1000 ran into a British sea mine near Pillau in August 1944 . Badly damaged, the boat was able to enter the port of Pillau and was abandoned there as a permanent casualty . The entire crew survived the mine hit and switched to U 3523 . When it went down the following year, the former crew of U 1000 perished.
