Good day
I hope I understood your post well.
Could you please write the number of the U-boat that was ordered to cross Gibraltar from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic? Any more details on this operation?
I recently pointed out this fact in the TWoS thread that this fact seems nonsense to me in the campaign. In my opinion, the power of the electric motor and type VII batteries did not allow it to cross the strait into the Atlantic underwater. And on the surface I really don't know I don't know. But perhaps I am wrong and the campaign is based on facts.
Thank you for your possible answer and excuse my English.
