The only Skipper of U-192 was Oberleutnant Happe. He was lost with the boat.

U-192 was attached to the 4th U-Bootflotille upon commissioning, then to the 10th U-Bootflotille at Lorient as a frontboot (combat boat). U-192 made only one patrol, and she was lost on this first patrol while operating against a convoy in the North Atlantic.

U-192 attacked one ship during her short life and that was on 1 May 1943. The target was identified only as a 5,000-ton steamer in Convoy ONS.5 but only one detonation was heard and there was no confirmation. Within days, U-192 joined her sisters on the seabed – it was the beginning of ‘Black May’
