German boats in the Atlantic naval quarters said today The Germans have launched a new boat offensive supposedly from bases on the rench coast but they are being met with "highly successful action" by the Anglo American patrols it was said (A United Press dispatch from Vichy said that the Germans under the direction of Dr ritz Todt builder of the Siegfried line had constructed a string of submarine bases along the rench coast to service new fleets of boats The bases were said to be part of preparations for an submarine and airplane offensive in the Atlantic) Naval quarters said that of success of the new German sea offensive might be attributed to three factors (1) Efficiency on convoy escorts (2) destruction of long range German ocke Wulf airplane spotters which tip off the submarines on convoy positions and (3) a decrease in German boat Longer nights have given Ger man submarines an excellent op portunity to operate because are able to remain on the surface without it was said However it was said that by nightfall most attacks are then futile" The biggest German handicap is not the loss' of submarines it was said but the loss of their crews which take several years to train so they can attack ef There undoubtedly will be some ups" in the battle in which enterprising Boat com mander may be it was admitted "but this is to be ex pected because it is impossible to keep all submarines out of the Naval quarters said the Ger mans apparently are training Boat crews in the Baltic Sea and then passing them out through the North Sea to Atlan tic ports The Germans are nrobablv not using which have been reported pouring off as sembly lines in German shipyards Naval quarters said that for ef fective work the Germans must use at least 500 to 700 ton sub marines in the Atlantic because of rough seas and weather submarines have littld ef fect except in raids against sta tionary coastal shipping" it was said These same quarters said they had no knowledge of a battle1 be tween
