Canadians At Sea The Battle of the Atlantic

Battle of the Atlantic Britain (cut off from Europe) depended on supplies from North America to be shipped across the Atlantic Ocean. Germany tried to cut off the supply line by launching a campaign of submarine warfare.

Battle of the Atlantic German U-boats operated in “wolf packs.” They inflicted terrible losses on Allied ships and merchant sailors.

Wolf packs were units of several, or even dozens, of u- boats that operated together. They were incredibly effective.

Battle of the Atlantic The convoy system consisting of 12 to 40 supply ships protected by an escort of warships was used to transport goods to Britain.

The Battle of the Atlantic In addition, aircraft within range from land provided cover for the convoys. The area of the Atlantic that was out of range of aircraft was known as the “black pit.”
