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.....
