No history of submarine warfare in World War Two could be complete without a mention of the
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.
