1914: 7th Flotilla Chatham, HMS Vulcan and Alecto
It is indeed a far cry from Blyth on the east coast of England to Kimberley in Griqualand West, South Africa, and a long span of time, over sixty-two years, since I was a boy-telegraphist (wireless operator) serving on HM Submarine J3 part of the tenth submarine flotilla stationed at Blyth.
Historical documentary which explores the efforts of German soldiers during World War II.
The outbreak of the Second World War meant that both sides had to concentrate a huge amount of their workforce on rearmament, with large amounts of supplies being delivered by air.
The German army relied heavily on their U-boats, and with ambush tactics devised by their creator, Admiral Doentitz, they became a dangerous force on the water.
The programme includes rare footage of former captains and U-boats in action.
