Dropped over Britain between June/July 1941!...
In that case it's not really wrong! Allied Atlantic shipping losses in 1941 were around 500 ships and 2.4 million tons of cargo lost, whilst 1942 was over double that being closer to over 1,000 ships and 5.5 million tons of goods. However, advances in allied tactics, technology, experience and their execution in practice together with concentrated bombing of the Atlantic U-boat bases effectively sounded the death knell of the "Happy Time" for the U-boats and their crews from early 1943 onwards.by Gunny Hartmann
