DONITZ AND THE WOLF PACKS
Book Type: C
By Bernard Edwards.
Perhaps the most
critical battle of WWII was the one the Allied forces waged to keep the
trade routes open. Food and raw materials being essential to the war
effort, without which the end result would surely have been different.
The German U-boat was a hidden predator, stealing up on its prey out of
sight beneath the waves, more effective when roaming in groups until it
chose to attack. Admiral Donitz chose to use the gray hulls of his
submarines in these 'wolf packs'. The Allied defense against this simple
yet stunning strategy was fraught with difficulty and huge Allied
losses were inflicted. The depths of German submariner action are delved
into, to explain this remarkable naval tactic, cunningly used with
great brutality by men who themselves withstood awesome deprivation,
securing the adulation of their nation and very nearly winning the
Battle of the Atlantic.
