History of War January 2020

In World War II, lethal German U-boats sailed all over the world wreaking havoc and destruction. This unique series charts the true story of the tense, close-run fight that took place. It depicts how this potent force became one of the most dominant German fighting units during World War Two, and became such a worry to Allied shipping that even Winston Churchill himself claimed that the 'U-boat peril' was the only thing that ever really frightened him during the war. The weapon was invisible and fast: German submarines spread fear and terror in the longest sea battle in history, the Battle of the Atlantic, during World War II.
