U-Tanker dates in GWX??

Ive been reading a book about German resupply ships/subs in the second world war and assuming the info in the book is correct ive spotted something a bit odd in GWX, the dates for the u-tankers (milk-cows) seem a bit off, in fact both the dates and the locations seem wrong.

For example, GWX has U459 first being available on September 10th 1942 where in reality its first resupply patrol was 29 March to 15 May 1942 with it being "on- station" 500 miles NW of Bermuda from 18th April to 5th May 1942.

Plus U489 and U490 seem to be missing atogether.

Not to mention there should be a whole bunch more surface resupply ships in the Atlantic before December 41.

Now i know not everything can be simulated in game so i can live with a few missing resupply units but incorrect dates??

...See this is what happens when i read books when i should be playing sh3!
