-- Osprey Duel #3 - U-boats vs Destroyer Escorts - The Battle of the Atlantic
- By Gordon Williamson
- 80 pages
- Softbound
Winston Churchill claimed the 'U-boat peril' was the only thing
that frightened him during World War II. The U-boat was developed from a small
coastal vessel into a state-of-the-art killer, stalking the high seas picking
off merchant convoys, until the introduction of the destroyer escort, and the
development of dedicated anti-submarine tactics provided a means of defence and
attack against the U-boats. Gordon Williamson describes the design and
development of these two deadly opponents, their tactics, strengths and
weaknesses, weaponry and training. He provides an insight into the lives of the
Royal Navy and Wolf Pack crews as they played their deadly games of cat and
mouse on the high seas, gambling with their lives and the fate of the nations.
