DONITZ AND THE WOLF PACKS
by Edwards, Bernard
- Used
London 1996, Arms & Armour Pr, UK First edition , hard bound w/dj, Fine/Fine condition, 6x9, 240 pp, illus & maps. ------------------------------------------------------It can be argued that the most critical battle of the Second World War was the one the Allied forces waged to keep the trade routes open. Without food and raw materials for the war effort, the result would surely have been different - certainly, victory would have been prejudiced and delayed.The U-boat, the submarine of the German Navy, was a hidden predator, which would steal up on its prey out of sight beneath the waves. The tactics were much like the wild wolf of the forest, whose grey camouflage would keep it out of sight until it chose to attack. Just as the wolf was even more effective when it roamed in groups, cornering its quarry before catching it, so Admiral Karl Donitz chose to use the grey hulls of his submarines in packs - `wolf packs'.This simple yet stunningly successful tactic came very close to winning the Battle of the Atlantic and inflicted huge losses of Allied merchant and naval vessels and their crews. With the packs dispersing after an attack as quickly as they gathered for it, defence against the strategy was fraught with difficulty and only the U-boats' inability to wage their warfare without surfacing gave . the Allies a chance of fighting back.In this empathetic and deeply researched volume, Bernard Edwards delves beneath the myths and legends of submarinal action and convoy protection to discuss the realities of wolf pack deployment. He explains what caused Donitz to employ the plan and how close his scheme came to destroying Allied resistance. It is an account of a remarkable naval tactic, cunningly used with great brutality by men who themselves withstood awesome deprivation, securing the adulation of their nation. The book is a major contribution to the continuing study of World War Two.
