Those coordinates do not cover an area, but only a line going due East for 4 miles . A patrolling submarine would sail over that distance in a quarter of an hour. At that hour of the night it's little wonder they didn't see the Brandenburg. It's laughable including that logbook entry and it spoils a great movie.
Eric Portman spent a lot of his career playing nasty Germans but he was as English as fish and chips.
He never put in a bad performance.

Did the British even operate subs in the Baltic in WW2? Similar situation to the Sea of Japan for the USN.

Maybe a goof at 51.04 - Read the logbook entry:
0340 Patrolled area between
54° 35'N 14° 28'E and
54° 35'N 14° 34'E still
no sign of Brandenburg
