German U-Boat Captains Were Shocked When ‘Huff-Duff’ Radio Bearings Led Escorts Straight To Them

Описание: What if the very technology that made German U-boats so deadly in World War II was secretly signing their death warrants with every transmission?

In this video, we explore the incredible story of how Allied forces used High Frequency Direction Finding, or "Huff-Duff," to turn German radio communications into a lethal vulnerability. While U-boat commanders believed their brief transmissions and Enigma encryption kept them safe, British and American escorts were using revolutionary direction-finding equipment to pinpoint submarine locations within seconds, leading to the destruction of hundreds of U-boats and ultimately deciding the Battle of the Atlantic.
