SH5 is called "The Battle of the Atlantic," and this was over in April-May of 1943.
Earlier in 1943, the U-Boats had unprecedented success with overwhelming losses for the Allies in March and April. These losses finally got Adm. King's attention and an all-out Allied war on the U-Boats ensued with massive losses to the U-Boats. As a result, Adm. Donitz recalled all U-Boats from the Atlantic and they never again attacked the convoys, but were limited to defensive action and attacks in the waters near England.
The Battle of the Atlantic was over.
