How One Navy’s “Sky Patrol” Made Hitler’s U-Boats Vanish from the Atlantic

Описание: Between 1942 and 1945, hundreds of German U-boats prowled the Atlantic, sinking thousands of Allied ships and threatening to cut Britain off from the world.
But few remember the strange fleet that silently turned the tide, the U.S. Navy’s K-Class airships.

From Florida to Newfoundland, these giant blimps patrolled the coastlines, hunted submarines, and escorted convoys across storm-covered seas.
They carried depth charges, radar, and sonar, and unlike aircraft, they could hover for days, watching the waves below.

This is the forgotten story of America’s secret air war against German U-boats, a campaign that saved thousands of lives and helped win the Battle of the Atlantic.

Based on wartime naval records, Allied convoy reports, and eyewitness accounts, this film uncovers a chapter of history most have never heard,
the moment when the sky itself became the Atlantic’s greatest defense.
