Why end in 1943?

I must say I have absolutely no patience for the constant (and intellectually dishonest) rationale that the Battle of the Atlantic was over in '43.

How many tons of Allied shipping was sunk from '43 on? How many Allied sailors were drowned? How many U-boat crews were destroyed? I'm sure someone has these statistics at their fingertips.

Tell the dead men who died that this battle was "over" after '43.

Spin it how you like. This rationale simply doesn't hold water in the face of historical fact.
