The key to the whole thing is world domination which means across the "English speaking pond" and into the Western Hemisphere! Since the Fascist regime under COL. Perón is available as of 1941(with Evita) this is the proper geographic base for the IX U-boots' longer range; (Bye Bye Falklands and St Helena) They can strike the African coast (Freetown-Capetown) more readily as well. Throw in the oil rich Dutch Antilles: (Bonaire, Curacao and Aruba) after the fall of Holland and Venezuela is cut off as well and the Panama Canal becomes a turkey shoot. The type VII's operate out of Iceland, Norway and the Azores and Ibeza in the Baleares, chopping off the Mediterranean "at the the gut", Gibraltar, under Fascist Franco.
The real key is sea power; Napoleon never got it and der Fuhrer, an admitted "coward at sea" is copying every mistake of his predecessor, including a winter war in Russia.
