I assume you mean if the Germans had had the Type XXI two years earlier?
In war nothing happens in a vacuum. If the Type XXI had made it's debut earlier than likely so would the Allied ASW countermeasure that were already being experimented on near war's end. Sonabouys, dipping sonar, helicopters, better homing torpedoes. etc. With their superior resources and an unassailable industrial base to work from, I have no doubt these more advanced ASW developments would have been acclerated.
