OK.

Hey pal! The Russkies couldn't even have fought the Germans without the American ordinance imported through the Murmansk convoys.

Im sure sovjet was'nt best friends with USA and would not even say thank you for those supplies but they were'nt mandatory in keeping the sovjets fighting. Just drop it.

Hitler could have let the Brits escape Dunkirk and then declare peace on the European continent.

Yeah right, even if Hitler wanted that Churchill would never had made peace, well perhaps forced into one if the island was starved out. England would never accept a solid enemy state in mainland Europe and churchill was hellbent on a steadfast war effort- there were many quotes on that.

significantly strengthened German Wehrmacht across the Channel

True, like Napoleon an army could have invaded the british islands and surround London etc. But you forget that the luftwaffe did what they could and got their arrogance shot out of the sky by RAF.

And it is a fact that the U-Boats were next to useless.

Oh really, is that why Britain got 50 old destroyers as a stop gap measure to escort their convoys or why churchill's only real fear was the uboat menace?

In the end you claim that the uboat was a wrong kind of weapon to produce. Its not like they did'nt try surface ships but the royal navy was always the double size, making the stealthy sub the only viable weapon available at the time (though germany had som commercial raiders).

This is all only theories...and nothing is 100% sure. I belive it would have a bit different had the XXII been availabe in numbers early on. Then the subs had'nt been so ridiculusly easy to sink as you claim.

Please stop waving the american flag in every post you make and ridicule other forces - thanks in advance. Now read this 5 times before you answer and chill.
