I'm not sure that the minefields are purely historical. I decided to be brave during my last patrol, and head to my patrol grid via the English Channel. At the war's outbreak the British laid replicated the 1918 Dover mine barrage, which was the reason that the Uboats had to make the long journey around the isles. This should have made my transit impossible. Yet, I was through unscathed, both on egress and ingress.

So, yes, I am sure there are mines, but they are not fully where they are supposed to be.
