I started a career in January 1943 with the 7th Flotilla at St Nazaire and was given the Type VIIC U-204.
Ordered patrol zone is BB56 just outside the Gulf of St Lawrence near the southern coast of Newfoundland. We know U-Boats hunted around there but I would have expected this patrol grid with a Type IX but I made it using just over 40% of my fuel reserves.
The only issues are aircraft and weather. In 14-days transit not a single aircraft appeared and the weather has been continuously clear and really fine with winds of 3-5 m/s at worst. Not a single vessel or convoy was met, the world seems empty despite the incoming radio traffic.
So what's with the great winter weather and complete lack of Allied air power in 1943?
