NYGM places the historical East Coast Barrage mine fields (1940-44) like this...

Their documentation states that the locations of these particular minefields were published in an effort to reduce accidental merchant sinkings, so the Germans new of their general locations too - hence their appearance on you u-boats nav. map. I would think other mods place them in the same general areas as well.

BTW, I came across an interesting article on the North-Sea mines here...http://www.seaclimate.com/2/2_14.html. there were a lot of them!
