The Invisible Technology That Sank 43 U-Boats in One Month

Описание: May 1943. Kapitänleutnant Erich Topp, one of Germany's most decorated U-boat commanders, heard a sound that shouldn't exist—an electronic pulse coming from empty sky. Within minutes, Allied aircraft appeared from nowhere. Three days later, a destroyer found him in perfect darkness. By month's end, his boat was sunk and 43 U-boats had vanished from the Atlantic. What Topp didn't know: the Allies had deployed centimetric radar, a technology so advanced that German Metox receivers couldn't detect it. Every U-boat in the Atlantic was visible, trackable, vulnerable—and Naval Command had no idea. This is the story of how a 10-centimeter radio wave ended Germany's submarine campaign and changed the outcome of World War II.
