I have changed this phrase because the U-flak boats sailed with other (standard) U-boats, in the Bay of Biscay at least, to try and give them more AA protection i.e.: "...she was given an increased complement of anti-aircraft guns, to give her and other German submarines [my emphasis] a better chance of fighting off enemy aircraft." (in the 'second patrol' section).
This idea did not work.
