Battle of the Atlantic: Sept.3,1939 - May.7,1945
|
The only thing that ever really frightened me during the war was the U Boat peril. In the battle of the Atlantic, German U Boats would continuously attack and sink convoys of ships across the Atlantic Ocean to destroy Ally resources and troops.
The Canadian Navy would fight against the U Boats with corvette ships and depth charges while the Germans used their new "Wolf Pack" strategy against convoys. The battle forced Canada to increase production of ships and war resources, thus expanding our Navy. |
