Twelve feet of reinforced concrete protect Admiral Karl Doenitz' U-boats when they put into Lorient and Brest for rest, repairs and refueling. Some Allied sources say that constant air raids, by smashing more poorly protected surface shops and power stations, have lowered the efficiency of Lorient and Brest as much as 75%, but the U-boats in packs still prowl forth into the Atlantic...

But-if they met-a good guess was that they discussed the highly effective German submarine campaign-a defensive campaign which cannot win the war for Hitler, but can indefinitely delay an Allied victory...
