This is what I found out about the power of DC´s.

"The hydraulic "water hammer" effect created by a 300-pound depth charge would destroy the submarine if detonated within 10 yards of the hull, 30 yards away only damaged the hull"

But these figures dont tell the truth, the depth of the uboat also makes the hull more fragile. So, in lowest possible depth, even a DC going off 30-40 yards away could cause flooding in the uboat.
