During the darkest days of the Battle of the Atlantic, Allied convoys were being sunk faster than they could be replaced. German U-boats dominated the seas, and conventional anti-submarine tactics were failing… until something completely unexpected turned the tide—not a new weapon, not radar, but floating food scraps.

This video uncovers the astonishing true story of how a simple observation by a submarine cook became one of the most effective anti-U-boat strategies of World War II. From the USS Barb in the Pacific to British escort groups in the North Atlantic, this unconventional tactic used false debris trails to trick U-boats into deadly traps—turning the hunters into the hunted.

You’ll see how clever deception, combined with improved sonar and precise coordination, contributed to “Black May” 1943, when German submarine losses soared and Admiral Dönitz was forced to pull U-boats from convoy routes. It’s a fascinating story of innovation, psychology, and how small ideas can change the course of a war.
