I also read that the Ubootswaffe estimated that they would need to average something over 700 000 tons per month to starve out England. Now I think that there was only a 3 or 4 month period when they even came close. So in reality, despite the appearance of a threat, England won just by not losing in the first few years. |
I'd like to add that air superiority must have been a large factor too
