ww2dbaseGerman Navy Type VIIC submarine U-132 was commissioned into service in May 1941 with Kapitänleutnant Ernst Vogelsang in command. She completed three war patrols during the war, the third of which was her most successful, having sunk Greek ship Anastasios Pateras, Belgian ship Hainaut, and British ship Dinaric at the mouth of the Saint Lawrence River in Canada. Her fourth and final patrol began on 6 Oct 1942, with her spotting Allied convoy SC-107 a month later. She attacked together with other members of her wolfpack and sank British ship Empire Lynx and Dutch ship Hobbema in the North Atlantic Ocean, but she was fatally damaged by falling debris from ammunition ship Hatimura, which was damaged by U-132 (U-442 would sink Hatimura shortly after). All 47 men aboard were lost. U-132 sank eight commercial ships (32,964 gross register tons total) and one warship during WW2.
