With regard to improving the technical characteristics of the submarines and their weapons to play with advantage, I tried to accomplish missions in 1942 with a type XXI and the difference it is huge, but that is departing from the normal parameters. Nor can sink a convoy with atomic bomb, do not exaggerate. Anyway, we'll see how it goes in the Pacific Theater with the Americans. There are plenty of footage and even a TV series called "Silent Service".

I think you have a very unrealistic view of the history leading up to the war. There were no angels on any sides. Germany was prepared to go to war over Danzig, which had a German majority, and the Polish corridor, which did not have a German majority. Hitler, in fact, had the invasion all scheduled for 26 August, but halted the invasion a day earlier when the Brits and Poles agreed to return to the negotiating table.

Churchill's quotes after the war show amply that England cared nothing for Polish independence. It was merely a pretext to start a war with Germany. In the end the Poles were consigned lock, stock, and barrel to the Russians.
