Germany mis-used their submarines. Over a million US servicemen reached Europe to defeat the Germans. The German subs never sank ONE troop carrying ship! They had their chance to sink Americans before they even reached the trenches. To make matters even worse...the Germans couldn't do it in TWO WARS! They never sunk ONE US TROOP SHIP in either war!
