Depth Capabilities of subs/uboats
One thing that strikes me about historical sub and uboat accounts is that American fleet boats report going as deep as 300 feet (Silent Running, Calvert) while German U-boats could submerge to 300 meters (Iron Coffins, Werner). That's almost 1000 feet!
Why the difference? How deep can depth charges be known to go? I think I read that U-557 was able to evade charges because they could go deeper.
