I still cannot believe Doenitz sent his crews into a desperate attack during Operation Overlord. He must of know that his crews wouldn't come back.
Once the allies had closed the air gap and had perfected hunting techniques combined with a tecnological advantage, the U-boats didn't stand a chance. It was more a case of survival rather than sinking tonnage.
We must not forget the sacrifice made by all during the Battle for the Atlantic.
