It seems to me like the U-boat war went entirely in Hitler's favor where it mattered, yet still achieved nothing strategically. It didn't stop the western Allies from carrying out a successful second front before the destruction of 9th Army.

The Americans used unrestrained submarine warfare against Japan and succeeded.

Perhaps more U-boats could have demolished the U.K.'s economy.

The USSR would have still won though.

1942 was too late. The time for a knockout punch was in 1940 when they got the French ports and before America was openly in the war
