Such an extension of Nazi raiding | operations was inevitable. But there is no reason | to expect heavy losses along our coasts. | Early in the war German submarines operated |in the English Channel and off the southern coast lof England, and with considerable success, When this area was brought under full control by the Brit- |ish fleet the Nazis transferred their main hunting |ground to the Eastern Atlantic, utilizing espeeially | the. “blind spot” created by Britain's inability to- use Irish bases. As the British organized their coastal air com- ymand to patrol those waters, the U-boats moved | west, operating south of Iceland. Although handi- capped by the long distance out to those waters, the, Nazis made their heaviest inroads on British ship- | matically hoats. ‘Then came American intervention with destroyer | patrols.
