In
1945 the German Kriegsmarine realized that the war was
lost. After France had been taken over by the Allies, they
transferred many of their uboats from France to Norway.
This gave the Germans a better opportunity to attack the
northbound convoys, and U 1273 was part of 11.Flotilla in
Norway. She did one war patrol during her career, and was
sunk by an air mine outside Horten 17.February 1945. The wreck
was scrapped in 1946 by the Norwegian navy, and the few
remains that might be left of her, rest raøong the beach
and the shoreline at Østøya together with the scattered
wreck debris from Neptun
and V-6733
Widder.
