How close did they get?

Not very, apparently.

There is no evidence that the Kriegsmarine managed to deploy buzz bombs on submarines.

But the threat of it goes to show how a feint can misdirect an opponent to assigning huge assets to thwart it.

It also goes to show how a misdirected threat can call up an overwhelming response that the first party is not able to handle.

Some have opined that Speer should have kept his trap shut as his words might have cost the lives of scores of his sailors.
