Imagine the returns if Germany would have taken 250 U-Boats from the fruitless Atlantic campaign and transfered them to the Pacific, along with crack crews and production facilities for torpedoes and more U-Boats to Japan and Rabaul. Imagine if these 250 subs had the job of controling the choke points with the goal of hunting US subs and supply ships. The 20 knot acoustic homing torpedoes would be the star of the show. US warships would be bonus prizes in this interesting little adventure.

Suppose the Germans had had a little wider vision? I think they could have made trouble for quite awhile longer than they actually did.
