In 1942 6 u-boats almost stoped the convoys up and down the east coast of the united states. If Hitler would have let more boats into the US waters then all shipping would have come to a crawl and the UK would have had to drop out of the war. No D-day, no one to come to the aid of the allies in the war.

In just 8 months U-boats had almost won the war in the US waters. If they had the 20 - 30 boats there, it would have been a differant war.
