Dumb question about dynamic campaign

Screw them, it wouldn't have been the Germans that won the war but the Nazis. And you are quite right, the Atlantic War was the key to the entire European Theater. If Doenitz had had more subs at the beginning, he might've been able to scare the British into ceasefire or capitulation. And then, in December 1941, Hitler declared war on the US, mostly because of their support for the Brits with convoys and escorts. Even so, as late as 1943 the Uboats still had the chance to cut of Europe, but failed. The real surprise was that they were so effective until then.
