Were there any cases of U-boats making shore bombardments along the Russian coasts during 1941-1945 time frame? How about dropping off German sabotage troops off the Russian coast by U-boats to destroy enemy installations?

Anything else? U-251 under Heinrich Timm did some shore bombardments too against the USSR.
