If nothing else, it shows that that the "sm" terminology was used by U boat commanders in their reports to BDU....assuming of course.... that the enigma decipher was correct Don't know, of course, what Hartwig Looks meant by sm but I find it hard to believe he was referring to " statute miles ".
Well, a Germen speaking person (weil ich habe alles vergessen) would held us to solve this riddle. So, the million dollar question is:

What does the term "sm" mean in German?
