Submarines at War: The Battle for the Atlantic during WWII (Adults)

REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED

Discover elements of the campaign for control of the Atlantic during World War II between the Allied submarine forces and the Germans.

The struggle between German submarines, or "U-boats," and the British Royal Navy and later the US Navy for control of the sea lanes of the Atlantic lasted literally every day of World War II. For Great Britain, cutting off imports, especially from the United States, would have been tantamount to losing the War. But did the German Kriegsmarine's submarines have any real chance of winning the war for Nazi Germany? What did it take for the Allies to defeat the undersea menace? This presentation will cover the elements of the campaign for control of the Atlantic and will illustrate why, for British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, the U-boat peril was the only thing that really frightened him during the war.
