hi guys, i have a question.

from what i know the germans during ww2 has a pretty strong air force from the start to middle part of ww2. and they pretty much has control on that part of the european continent, why did they not clear up the channel with their air power so their subs can have safer passage to their hunting ground?

did they tried but failed? i imagine it would be quite easy to pop up over the coastline and straffe the bejesus out of all the patrol boats there and beat a quick retreat even if situation were not so favorable. just my thoughts..
