The simplest way is just to pick September 1939 as your start date rather than August.
My favorite is to use SH3 Commander. I do a 'false' patrol by just starting on August 1 and ending the patrol a minute later. Once that is registered you can use Commander to give qualifications to all your crew, which is historically accurate. Then I set Commander's 'Days In Base' function for 18 days. This makes my first real patrol start on August 19, which is the date that fourteen boats were sent to the North Atlantic to await the start of hostilities. That way I'm on station when the war starts.
