true. but when u constantly have the feeling that your enemy knows you moves in advance u must do something. no matter that u r told by scientists that it is impossible.

In a similar situation Rommel reacted: he claimed that there was a spy among the italian commanders. we know he was wrong, but at least rommel try to analyze the facts.

I'm not a radio expert, but i think that Doenitz could have limited the use of HF/DF.
