As for the German submarine building, the British are sure they can counteract it easily by providing additional small fast destroyers as escort vessels and additional anti-submarine craft...
In a way they will have to eat those words. A lot of sailors and transports payed the price of the unchecked wolfpacks early in the war and it was only later that the British began to get the upper hand on the German submarine fleet.
Anyone know what the "scandal" involving Goebbels is about?
As to Britain gaining the upper hand on the German U-Boats, there is a really good book by Michael Gannon called “Black May.” Gannon is an excellent writer and authority on the war in the Atlantic. I recommend it highly.
