<HTML>On page 38 of \"Neither Sharkes nor Wolves\" Timothy P. Mulligan wrote:-

\"As Dönitz spent his entire World War I submarine duty in the Mediterranean......
First as watch officer aboard U 39........ then as commander of UC 25.....and UB68.......
Dönitz participated in the destruction of more than forty merchantmen. These experiences, and those shared with him by other Mediterranean aces, probably left Dönitz with an exaggerated perception of U-boat capabilities. Not having served with the fleet boats that bore the brunt of the submarine campaign, the future BdU lacked personal contact with the frustrations and limitations of the main force fighting in the North Atlantic.\"

Just curious but wonder what some of your views might be.....
