This is an historical incorrectness that should be addressed in the next, longed for, version of OHII. Our mission shoud be sinking or at least reckoning these Polish destroyers:

Many players complained that they have an hard time looking for valid targets in Baltic Operations. My opinion is exactly the opposite: we should be given a very short timeframe for tracking down those destroyers. Historically, it doesn't make sense wasting an entire month in the Baltic just for passing the mission, when there are so many targets waiting around British coastal waters.
As I side note I will remember that no Polish civilian ship was ever sunk in the Baltic by German forces.
Three type VIIA U-boats (U-31, U-32 and U-35) were deployed in the Baltic shortly before the beginning of the conflict. They all departed from Memel (present day's Klaipėda, in Lithuania) between 29 and 30 Aug 39, with instructons to intercept the aforementioned destroyers bound to England. When it became clear that the Polish warship had already managed escaping, they 3 unsuccessful U-boats were recalled back to Kiel and Whilelmshaven, where they arrived between 1 and 2 Sep.
The few Polish military vessels destroyed in the Baltic during the first 30 or so days of the conflict were sunk by the Luftwaffe
