I am going to do a fun test. I have mostly played the start of the war, then some escort gets me, and I start over again.
This time I will play that if my guy dies, I start a new one at the start of the month he died in. And see how many it takes me to get all the way to the end of the war.
Feel free to take a pool to guess how many it will take.
First up
Gerhard Dittrich - 2nd Flo - U-32 - Type VIIB
