Den 5. maj 1945 var 4 tyske U-både på vej mod Norge, hvor krigen endnu ikke var slut. Britiske fly ville standse denne trafik. De cirklede rundt om U-bådene og
en U-båd åbnede ild kl. 19.30. B24 KK299 kastede en bombe tæt på U-534 som fortalt i  den lange version.

U-båden skød tilbage og B24 KK299 styrtede i havet nordøst for Anholt 3 sømil fra U-båden. U-534 sank omkring her.
De 11 flyvere omkom og 9 af dem blev aldrig fundet. (Kilde: FT 91-11-58)

On 5 May 1945 4 German U-boats were heading for Norway, where the war was not over yet. British planes wanted to stop this traffic. They circled around the
U-boats and a U-boat opened fire at 19.30 hours. B24 KK299 dropped a bomb close to U-534 as told in the long version.

The U-boat returned the fire and B24 KK299 crashed into the sea north east of Anholt 3 nautical miles from the U-boat. U-534 sank about here.
The 11 airmen perished and 9 of them were never found. (Source: FT 91-11-58)
