This is simply trying to compare apples with pears. There are so many differences in strategy, tactics, equipment etc between the two theatres they are almost impossible to compare.

For a knowledgeable read of both theatres I would suggest purchasing the Clay Blair books....Silent Victory (PTO) and the Hitler's U-Boat War (2 volume ATO).

Yes, i´m agree, was a totally different war,

Allies were able to build up a huge number of ships compared with the Axis, destroyers, cargo ships, warships.

the numbers and technology makes the difference

I am on page 665 of Silent Victory now. Only had it a week and read James Calvert's Surface at the pole first.

I wanted to start with Hitler's U-Boat War first but hadn't got through the preface before I realized I only had the first volume. Damn second volume better come in this week. Otherwise I will have to read Richard O'Kane's Wahoo first.
