I'd like to know if there is a list also. You can "cheat" and go into the editor and open the .scr campaign file. Change the start date + end date to the same month/date as the month you will be patrolling in. (If you leave the end date as the end of the war you will see useless info/patrol orders for way too many ships and not whats happening in the month you are wondering about.)

This will allow you to see when certain harbours change hands so you have a general idea of when war is declared. It also shows you the locations of enemy ships, most notably where flagships/battleships are. They are usually in well guarded ports but this map also shows where the minefields and submarine nets are for that area.

Also try opening the .rnd campaign file within the editor. This will show convoy routes for that month.

For example if I open the editor, open campaign.scr, and set start date/end date to 03/1940.... I can see that there is a VIIC heading North towards the area E of Scotland, which is about to encounter a task force. That might be an interesting event but I think the VIIC gets sunk before I can arive to help it.
