What will be the date of next patrol?

I have noticed that the start date of the next patrol often differs from the date shown in base. Now becouse of what I experienced today I want to know if anything can be done about it.
So SHIII + GWX 1.03
I finish a patrol, the date in base says it's end of January 1942.
I waste time changing machine guns on my boat until it's February. Radar upgrade becomes available. Nice. I keep swaping those guns until it's March 1. Now I can install Bold1. It's time to test these things

I start the mission on March 2 (in base) and it's March 2 (in the mission).
Just as I have delt with some pesky Town class destroyer I receive the message.
It says operation Sportpalast is about to begin in March 8 on 1200. Now I decide that I would like to see Tripitz in action.
So I quit the mission and backup my save-game file (I do that alot with SHIII).
Then I load the save-game "In base before mission", enable unlimited fuel and start the mission again.
Now when I'm about to go on flank to meet Tripitz I notice that the date is February 9

Why did that happen? And why my u-boat is equipped with Bold1, an upgrade that should become available in March?
Is this problem of Silent Hunter or a "bonus" that comes with GWX? Is it posible to start the patrol on the time when I want. So I will get the chance to take part in one of those GWX scripted operations?
