| abstract | - German submarine U-235 was a Type VIIC U-boat of the Nazi German Kriegsmarine during World War II. The submarine was laid down on 25 February 1942 at the Friedrich Krupp Germaniawerft yard at Kiel as 'werk' 665, launched on 4 November and commissioned on 19 December under the command of Oberleutnant Goske von Möllendorf. After training with the 5th U-boat Flotilla at Kiel, U-235 was transferred to the 22nd flotilla on 29 October 1943, following her sinking in May by US bombs in Kiel. She had been raised, repaired and returned to service. She was re-assigned to the 31st U-boat Flotilla on 2 April 1945, less than two weeks before her second sinking. U-235 was sunk in error in April 1945 in the Kattegat by a German torpedo boat.
