During these patrols, she succeeded in sinking a single small British coastal freighter, one of just five ships sunk by this submarine class.

It was thus not until January 1945 that her captain, Oberleutnant zur See Hans-Heinrich Haß, was permitted to take her on a patrol off the Eastern coast of Scotland.

The first patrol was unsuccessful, Allied precautions and counter-measures were effective enough to prevent her from successfully targeting even the small coastal vessels to be found in this area.

She returned empty-handed, and Haß was replaced by Kapitänleutnant Konstantin von Rappard, who now commanded her for the remainder of her service career.

When Germany surrendered, U-2324 was at Stavanger in Norway, from where it sailed to Loch Ryan in Scotland for disposal in Operation Deadlight.
