I managed to slip into a convoy in March 44 guarded by 15 escorts from the front head on passing the lead escort at about 1000M. I was at periscope depth, silent running, and engines stopped. Admitted this is a very rare occurrence and I was in a type IXC. BTW I sank 2 ships and got away. The only thought I have is if the sea was rough, maybe your conning tower broke the surface and was spotted?
