Kriegsmarine U-Boats

The Kriegsmarine's submarines, the U-boats, proved to be the most effective and deadly arm of the German navy in World War II. Built to harass Allied shipping, the U-boat "wolfpacks" almost succeeded in bringing Britain to her knees in their campaign to restrict supplies from crossing the Atlantic.

Submarinele Kriegsmarine, barcile U, s-au dovedit a fi cel mai eficient si mai mortal brat al marinei germane in cel de-al doilea razboi mondial. Construite pentru a hartui transportul naval aliat, „pachetele de lupi” ale U-boat-ului au reusit aproape sa aduca Marea Britanie in genunchi in campania lor de restrictionare a aprovizionarii cu trecerea Atlanticului.
