Why No Allied Supply Route Could Match Canada’s “Maple Leaf Up” Convoys

Описание: Why No Allied Supply Route Could Match Canada's "Maple Leaf Up" Convoys
In March 1943, German U-boats were winning the Battle of the Atlantic. British convoys were losing 1 in 4 ships, and Britain had only 6 weeks of food left. Then a dismissed Canadian naval captain named W.E.S. Briggs developed a revolutionary convoy system that the British Admiralty called "undisciplined and dangerous."
The Maple Leaf Up system achieved a stunning 96.8% success rate while traditional British convoys managed only 71%. By using smaller convoy groups, unpredictable routes, and flexible tactics, Canada saved over 2,400 ships and helped turn the tide of World War II.
Discover how Canadian ingenuity revolutionized naval warfare, frustrated German submarine commanders, influenced D-Day planning, and became the foundation for modern NATO convoy doctrine. This is the untold story of how breaking the rules saved thousands of lives.
