All articles

U-boats, or Unterseeboots, were German submarines used extensively during World War II for naval warfare, primarily targeting Allied shipping convoys. With advanced sonar, torpedoes, and submerged operation, U-boats posed a significant threat in the Battle of the Atlantic. They utilized wolfpack tactics to destroy merchant ships, significantly disrupting supply lines. Their impact on naval warfare led to the development of countermeasures, such as convoy escorts and sonar detection.
