Admiral Karl Doenitz led the U-boat packs as they roamed the Atlantic hunting down their prey. They came close to starving Britain into surrender, and in their 'Happy Time' laid waste to the Allied fleet. What were the U-boats' secrets, how could they be so effective and how were they finally, and utterly defeated. WWII's longest, most crucial battle was waged at sea where German U-boat packs roamed the Atlantic hunting their prey. In a campaign to cut off vital supplies from the U.S. to Great Britain, they came close to starving England into surrender. If they succeeded, the Allies would almost certainly lose the war. Using archival footage of U-boats at work, we see that the Germans were at the forefront of technology, and how the Allies fought back to force the U-boat menace into submission. Beneth the surging seas of the North Atlantic lay one of World War II's most important battlegrounds. It was in these vast waters that hundreds of Nazi submarines lay in wait for the convoys of Liberty Ships bringing vital supplies to the European front. For years, Admiral Karl Doenitz's “Wolfpacks” had the upper hand in this critical theatre of operations, but a major coup turned the tide on the U-boats and by the end of the war the once-proud fleet was a scared shadow of its former self. Filled with gripping footage shot by both the Allies and the Axis and riveting accounts from veterans, SECRETS OF THE SEA WOLVES relives this epic struggle. Examine the techniques and technology that gave Germany domination of the seas from beneath the surface and learn the details of the discovery that changed the course of the war.
