The Hunters Became the Hunted | The End of the U-Boat Empire

Описание: In early 1943, German U-boats ruled the Atlantic.
Their wolfpacks hunted Allied convoys with deadly precision, threatening to cut off Britain from America’s vital lifeline.

Then, within just eight months, everything changed.

This documentary reveals the untold story of how the U.S. Navy’s Hunter-Killer Groups turned the tide of the Battle of the Atlantic, transforming submariners from predators into prey.

Centered around escort carriers like USS Bogue and USS Card, these groups combined new technology, intelligence breakthroughs, and revolutionary tactics to hunt U-boats across the open ocean.
