About :
The Battle of the Atlantic, which lasted from September 1939 until the German defeat in 1945, was the longest continuous campaign of the Second World War and has gone down in military history. During the six years of this naval war, German submarines and warships belonging to the Axis powers were launched against Allied vessels carrying equipment and supplies to Europe, causing apprehension in the Allied war room. The study of this period still involves facts unknown to the general public. Using mainly submarines (U-boats), the German Navy (Kriegsmarine) attacked Allied convoys coming from North America and the South Atlantic that were mainly bound for the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, using submarine warfare tactics that are still studied in the military world today, such as the wolfpack submarine packs. Between March and May 1943, the Allies destroyed about 50 U-boats, which caused the Commander-in-Chief of the German Navy, Karl Döntiz, to temporarily call off operations on 23 May of that year. This was the springboard for victory. The conflict in the Atlantic was not yet over, but from then on the Axis remained at bay until 1945, when a new fleet of U-boats was sent in, with the industrial effort led by Albert Speer. The technology of these submarines, especially the Type XXI, was advanced and posed a threat to Allied dominance in the region. However, the Second World War ended before these vessels allowed the German advance. Thousands of vessels were destroyed and about 100,000 men died during the Battle of the Atlantic. Follow along on this video for another trip through history as we visit the only surviving German Type XXI submarine, the Wilhelm Bauer (originally designated U-2540), a Type XXI U-boat of the Nazi German Navy (Kriegsmarine) completed shortly before the end of World War II. She was sunk at the end of the war, never having gone on patrol. In 1957, she was raised from the seabed off the Flensburg Firth, restored, and recommissioned for use by the West German Bundesmarine in 1960. Finally withdrawn from active service in 1983, she is the only floating example of a Type XXI U-boat. She was modified to appear in wartime configuration and displayed at the German Maritime Museum in Bremerhaven, Germany. #militaryhistory #uboat #submarines Become a member of this channel and get benefits ► https://bit.ly/_SejaMembros ▼ Travel with us and discover incredible places: Phone/WhatsApp: (35) 98404-9918 E-mail: [email protected] ▼ Buy a shirt and enter to win a trip to Normandy! https://linktr.ee/viagemnahistoria ▼ SOCIAL MEDIA: ➜ Instagram - / viagemna_historia ➜ Facebook - / sacred-ground .
