Re: Is this a true statement about the B24?
The strategic bombing had to have some effect as in 1944 only as 229 were built. 19/month
1943 With the biggest convoy battles of the war and the highest number of boats at sea, stakes were high. In May 1943 the biggest loss to befall the U-boat fleet came with loss of 41 boats. Overall losses in 1943 were 243 U-boats. A increase of 43 over losses. In 1944, 249 were lost, for 229 built. No comment on the ships arriving/losses? |

Re: Is this a true statement about the B24?
Yes. The numbers for shipping losses in the North Atlantic which I gave were copied from Table II. British, Allied and Neutral Shipping Losses from Enemy Action, according to Theatres, which is Appendix O of The War At Sea by Capt Roskill, which is the Official History. If www.uboat.net has different figures, then uboat.net is simply wrong and perhaps you should inform them of that fact and point them to the definitive source. Tony
