sorry kurt,you are wrong.
i have read about a hundred uboat ktb`s.its right that sometimes the commanders miscalculated by 1000ts, sometimes they estimated 100% too much tons. BUT: after each mission the mission report was commented and a debriefing took place with the famous sub commander günter hessler. they got corrected if they stated too much tons and this was attached to the ktb.
the uboat command had enough intelligence means to get a very good picture about losses and tonnage sunk.

Hmm, post war actual figures were much lower than uboat command estimates even after Herr Hessler's debriefings.</HTML>
