In his memoirs Dönitz pointed out that the crews of the boats were so eager to get to the US coast that they made a lot of sacrifices suchs as take less water with them so these tanks could be used as fuel tanks. It went so far that Dönitz had to put a serious warning towards the commanders not to jeopardize the safety of the boat and her crew in order to get more range.
