Re: Italian Submarines in the Battle of the Atlantic?

From mid 1942 to mid 1943 the Italian submarines from Bordeaux were sent to the Central or South Atlantic, to operate off Freetown, Brazil or South Africa, because they had a longer range than most German U-boat types but were also less suited for convoy operations.
