The
term, U-boat is the anglicized version of the German
word that describes an undersea boat, Unterseeboot
and refers to military submarines operated by Germany,
particularly in World War II. War personnel and materials
were being transferred across the Atlantic Ocean, becoming
the main target of the U-boats. The primary aim of
the U-boat campaigns was the disruption of merchant
convoys bringing supplies from the United States to
Canada, to Great Britain, and to WWII Allies.
The battle took place in the Atlantic. During World
War II, a handful of German U-Boats sunk about 1,000-ships
in the Atlantic and Caribbean, more tonnage than the
Japanese fleet sunk in the Pacific. In the first days
alone, one U-Boat sunk ten transports before returning
to reload. During this part of the battle at sea, the
Enigma Machine and Code Breakers played a crucial part
in the war during the Second World War. Also, German
Saboteurs were landed by U-Boats on beaches in New
York, Florida, and Maine as well as Scotland and North
Sea Britain. Our heroic documentary covers “WWII,
Nazis Attack America,” as we focus on patriotism,
volunteerism, and national pride.
