ASW Aircraft Apr-May43

[Marcello]

So Donitz was using the uboat crews as sacrificial lambs to keep the allied birds off Germany's doorstep.

Pretty much. Then again considered the losses in air raids it might have seemed worthwhile.

Sounds like the Nazi party to me.

Hence the Hitler Youth Dönitz nickname.
Though honestly I find the ramming order fishy, I recall terms like disregard of survival and such but not something that nutty . As I recall the only u-boat that managed to attack the invasion fleet carried out a conventional torpedo attack and evaded.
