Atlantic Nightmare: The longest military campaign in World War II
Year: 2019 Language: English Author: Richard Freeman Genre: History Publisher: Lume Books Edition: Kindle Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 369 Description: No other battle of the Second World War lasted longer than the 2,075 days of the Battle of the Atlantic. It raged from the opening day of the war in September 1939 until it ended almost six years later with Germany’s surrender in May 1945. Vital supplies of food, fuel and the raw materials needed by the Allies to wage war had to be transported in merchant ships in escorted convoys across the Atlantic Ocean where they were at the mercy of German U-boats and warships. At first, many were lost. The fall of France in June 1940 gave the U-boats bases on the Atlantic coast, and U-boat production increased allowing the Germans to now hunt in ‘wolf packs’. How seriously did each side take the battle? How far were they able to innovate their way out of problems they encountered? Who made the crucial decisions on how the battle should be fought? How was the crucial battle for intelligence won? Additional info: About the author: Richard Freeman writes books on naval history and the people who made that history. Audiobook:
