In March 1943, the Allies were losing the Battle of the Atlantic. German U-boat wolfpacks were sinking ships faster than they could be built. The Royal Navy's primary weapon, the depth charge, had a fatal flaw: a success rate of less than 2%.
The problem wasn't just aim; it was "The Deaf Time." Every attack blinded the ship's sonar for 15 minutes, allowing U-boats to escape.
Enter Charles Goodeve, a Canadian chemist labeled an "amateur" by naval traditionalists. He realized the Navy was fighting a mathematical impossibility. His solution? A strange, spigot-mortar weapon called the "Hedgehog" that looked like medieval torture but utilized probability theory to eliminate the blind spot.
In this video, we uncover:
The fatal acoustic flaw of standard depth charges.
How a chemist used math to challenge naval tradition.
The engineering genius behind the Hedgehog's 19% kill rate.
How "The Silent Death" turned the Atlantic into a graveyard for U-boats.
Join us as we analyze how science conquered brute force in World War II.
