Grey Wolves: U-Boats 1939-1941 Part 1

From the Cover:

The scourge of the Atlantic Ocean during World War II, Hitlers U-boat Wolf Packs were described by Winston Churchill as his greatest fear. And these roving bands of submarines quickly became the biggest threat to England, cutting the country off from vital supply routes and almost starving it into submission.

Good video but a very dry narrative. Most professional combatants will tell you that war is mostly boredom combined with with brief moments of extreme terror.

@whitewinged1 Yes less that 1% was sunk overall. Ya they sunk alot but overall 99% got through

[whitewinged1]

@DaManzMoney Victory was achieved at a huge cost: between 1939 and 1945, 3,500 Allied merchant ships (totalling 14.5 million gross tons) and 175 Allied warships were sunk and some 72,200 Allied sailors and merchant seamen lost their lives. The Germans lost 783 U-boats and approximately 30,000 sailors killed, three-fourths of Germany's 40,000-man U-boat fleet. "what they don't tell us is that less than 1% of allied shipping was sunk overall by U Boats" Less than 1% ??? HELLOOOOO???

I've been in a russian 60's sub once and it's very cosy actually. As long as you're not under fire :p

@TurkishHistorian1923 very good comment 

[awnok]

@jumpyjedi You misunderstood what I meant, Jumpy. I was taking a swipe the narrative of this type of thing. The whole of the UK and many Commonwealth countries were involved from the outset. Not just England.

@awnok no offense buddy but learn ur history and dates.......us didnt come into the war until pearl harbor...and that was a wee bit later in 1941

[awnok]

I didn't realise that it was only England vs Germany.
