Also I keep reading about U-boats and convoys encountering the worst weather in the Atlantic for a good few years. IIRC at least one U-boat on the way to US waters encountered hurricane force winds and was forced to travel submerged for over a week. Donitz blamed the weather a few times for convoy attacks failing, and escort commanders like Donald Macintyre paint vivid pictures of horrific seas.
