No ideas? The white color scheme across the front of the turn is distinct. Also, the boat is flying pennants which means it is coming back from its last patrol before being retired or off as a school boat.

...isn't a Flak-U-Boot, but U 673, for two patrols fitted with a so called "Turmumbau VI" between April and August 1944.
