Lack of depth markings on Chart

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but a search didn't uncover it.

Why on earth are there no depth soundings marked on the chart?

I know there is some shading which approximates to depth of water, but that's no bl^^dy use when you're trying to sneak into shallow water & you're kinda trying NOT to ground your boat on a sandbar.

Admiralty charts have detailed depth information on them & these would have been available to the Kreigsmarine.
