Just had my first ever submarine experience. How did they communicate with the world?

Ya'll probably know this but the Germans had a weakness when it came to communications - the allies broke the code pretty early and I believe it was Sub overall commander Doneitz who required all subs to report their position on a daily basis, This allowed the allies to direct convoys around the wolfpack positions and avoid them completely. The Germans were convinced we could never break their code but the Poles were hard at work on it early. Before the Germans invaded in 1939 the Poles destroyed all evidence and even though they were tortured none spoke of their work.
