Keeping the Atlantic sea-lanes open was a vital factor in the fight
against Nazi Germany. In the battle to protect merchant shipping
from the menace of surface raiders and U-boats, Allied resolve and
resources were tested to the utmost.
returncharacterreturncharacterThe story of the extraordinary
measures that were taken to combat the threat, at sea and in the
air, has often been told. But there is one crucial element in this
prolonged campaign that has still not been fully appreciated - the
role of code-breaking, in particular the decryption of secret
signals transmitted by German Enigma machines. And this is the
focus of Roy Nesbit's fascinating new account of the Battle of the
Atlantic. returncharacterreturncharacterUsing previously
unpublished decrypts of U-boat signals, selected from the National
Archives, along with historic wartime photographs, he tells the
stories of the individual U-boats and describes their fate. Their
terse signals reveal, perhaps move vividly than conventional
communications could do, the desperate plight of the U-boatmen as
they struggled against increasingly effective Allied
countermeasures that eventually overwhelmed them.
