I guess this is somewhat related, but what is amazing to me is the state of engineering at the time that made Uboat operations possible and was so absolutely pitiful in the development of armored warfare. The tanks of the time were aboriginal when compared to a submarine, torpedoes, ect., just another case of misaligned priorities. If the effort would have gone into armor instead of submarines the western front definitely would not have been "all quiet".
