An examination of the 'small boat' war between the Germans and the
British in the English Channel. During the Second World War, German
E-Boats were so active in the English Channel that the narrow
stretch of water became known as 'E-Boat Alley'. To counter the
threat of these E-Boats, Britain brought its coastal forces to bear
- flotillas of small Motor Torpedo and Gun Boats (MTBs and MGBs)
and Motor Launches (MLs). As the Germans sought to maintain their
supremacy in Channel waters, they continued to develop their E-Boat
designs to accommodate more armor and more firepower. Rather than
matching the newer E-Boats for armament, the British developed
several types to fulfill the varied roles for which the
Kriegsmarine were attempting to use the E-Boat. Illustrated with
high-quality photographs and battlescene artworks, this book
details this developing conflict, examining the evolution of the
boats involved, and covering their battles from fights in the
Thames Estuary to the build-up for D-Day.
