Regardless, he was definitely a great leader that the U-boat fleet respected.

Dont forget his plan also included 300 uboats

Your right about the 300 boats

I've just read Clay Blairs book (volume 1) for the second time and it's kinda interesting to note that Raeder overruled his request for addittional submarine tonnage on three separate occasions during the mid to late thirties
