When U boats left Kiel and Wilhelmshaven in say 1940, would they have to follow set courses around the North of Britain, or was it left to the discretion of the Captain? Bearing in mind the successes in France and Norway at the time, would they have taken a calculated risk to get close to Scapa Flow and hope to catch an unwary warship, or would they steer clear?
