The allies could of ended the U-boat war much earlier.

The American and British bomber campaign against Germany really didn't start to hit it's stride until 1943-44 by which point the U-Boats were already in retreat. Some debate the effectiveness of the whole Allied aerial bombing campaign to this day, (German industrial production actually increased in 1944 despite it) although it did have the nice side effect of forcing the Luftwaffe to defend German factories instead of supporting the German army.
