What I would need to make the amount of wounded/dead crew relevant is details of each battle. For all I know the 19 men dead could have occurred over 5 attacks lasting 3 hours or, it could have been done in 3 minutes by an over zealous Swordfish bi-plane.

Got it. I see you're also a big fan of uboat.net!
All of the above patrols took place from mid to late 1943. Unless otherwise noted, the loses occured during a single encounter with a single aircraft. For the most part, I didn't keep track of the aircraft types. But I estimate that 25% were Sunderlands and 75% were Liberators. The battles generally lasted from 5 - 20 minutes. If I wasn't sunk, the aircraft would force me under within 3 - 10 attack runs. Lastly, I never once had a wounded man. They were all killed outright.
Hope this helps. I'll keep testing.
