Im afraid ill disagree with you Rockin Robbins. Germany could have had 300 submarines. In retrospect the Bizmark and Tirpitz were failures. Not in desighn but in the hopeless naval situation Germany found herself in. So how many U-boats could have been produced in place of those 2 Ships alone?
America coming into the war was inevitable from Hitlers perspective. Neutral countries are not to arm other waring nations. That is a breach of Germany and America's neutrality agreement. Extending the U.S. territory from 100 miles off the coastline to the mid Atlantic and then claiming all U-boats will be fired on by a neutral U.S. navy escorting arms to England. Again a clear violation of the United States neutrality agreement sighned with Germany.
300 U-boats would have knocked England out of the war and quick. They came close with 1/4 that number in 1940' 41'. With England out where is the United States gonna base? Chances are that Germany would have starved England into a peace agreement. The U.S. would have turned towards Japan after Pearl and Germany and Russia would have fought their war to the bitter end.
