I think that is why we are seeming to agree that no U-boat captain, on his own hook, could have significantly changed the war, accidentally or intentionally, given the technology of the day.

Unlike the sniper who had George Washington in his sights, but did not fire. Or the guy who moved Stauffenberg's briefcase. Or the guy who accidentally shot Stonewall Jackson.

I know I am out of ideas other than sinking the Prince of Wales, and even there the captain would not have known WSC was aboard.
