Unterseeboat 269, also known as U-269 was a German type VIIC submarine during the Second World War. It was laid down 18 Sep, 1941 at Bremer Vulkan, Bremen-Vegesack. Then commissioned on 19 Aug, 1942.
The submarine failed to sink or damage any craft, but neither did it lose any crew members prior to its sinking.
The submarine was sunk by depth charges from the British frigate HMS Bickerton on the 25th June 1944, in the Channel south-east of Torquay, in position 50.01N, 02.59W. The attack left 13 dead and 39 survivors. Her wreck was located in 1961, during a search for the British submarine HMS Affray which sank with all hands on 16 April, 1951 when her snorkel mast broke off near Alderney.
