Everything was a breeze pre-41. 41 was the turning point. That was when the war got alot harder. By 43/44 a U-boat couldn't surface without being molested by a bomber or a task force or something. And Gibralter... well. Lemme tell you. I think I remember a statistic that no U-boat that ever was ordered to the Mediterranean (ie. through GIbralter) ever returned. They were all either destroyed trying to get back through Gibralter or scuttled upon defeat.

What was it that that Seaman in Das Boot said about Gibralter? Tighter than a virgin's... well.
