I disagree----partly. A bigger problem than the U-boats were the SUPPLIERS of U-baots, of which it is doubtful that they would have had more, had they concentrated on the U-baots - and then there is that whole pesky control of the skies thing, wherein the boat can't be supplier if aircraft are sinking the supply boats, and Germany NEVER had control of the air at any time, so while it would have been great to have more, it is really doubtful that it would have made any real difference in the outcome, especially once the Allies came up with the newer methods of hunting down the subs.
