The Wolfpack (S01E04)

The wolfpack strategy, devised by Admiral Karl Donitz, the chief strategist for Hitler's submariners, aimed to unleash groups of U-boats on the convoys transporting goods from Canada to Britain. This tactic sought to sever crucial maritime routes and weaken the enemy into submission. Explore the depths of the North Atlantic as we revisit one of the initial assaults by Donitz's formidable submarines in 1940, led by Commander Otto Kretschmer. Meanwhile, watch as British military planners scramble to counter this emerging and lethal threat.
