| Fate: | Submarine C31 was sent to the area off Zeebrugge in Belgium for a two-day patrol on the 4th January 1915 with orders to report at Harwich on the 7th. Nothing more was heard from C31 and on the 10th and 11th January two destroyers (Lurcher and Firedrake) attempted to find out what had happened but were thwarted by the stormy weather prevailing. It was thought that the submarine had been sunk by enemy patrol craft but it may well have been mined. The date of the loss of C31 is accepted as being Thursday 7th January 1915. |

Hell-bent on starving the British into surrender, Hitlers U-Boats prowled the Atlantic in packs like hungry wolves sending ships, supplies and thousands of men to a watery grave. Stealthy and undetected, the German submarines of WW2 were unparalleled in the ability of sneak attack.
Their goal was to destroy merchant shipping bound for the British Isles with essential supplies, and bring the country to the brink of starvation and total collapse allowing an easy Nazi invasion.
This new DVD release contains spectacular footage of operation U-Boats, detailed graphics and additional featurs including a gallery of U-Boat types, and in-depth Tech Specs.
