They could not produce submarines faster than the allies could sink them, especially as we had broken their Naval code. For a really good movie about their naval code and the allies efforts to steal an Enigma encoding machine, see the 2000 movie U-571. Edge of your seat stuff. Historical knowledge.

Brits were upset about the U-571 movie, as they had already captured an enigma machine.

That movie’s complete crap. It’s a ripoff (right down to individual scenes) of the infinitely better “Das Boot”, mashed up with the actual capture (by the British) of an Enigma machine from the sinking U-110.
They could have told the *actual* story of the U-505 capture and made a far better film.
