Release Notes
=============

Despite the strength of the traditional German navy, it was it"s submarine force that struck the most fear into the Allies.
 
"They were the only thing that really frightened me." So said the usually steadfast Winston Churchill of the German Navy"s U-boat
fleet - the dreaded Wolf Pack which stalked the Atlantic depths, bringing instant death to merchantman and warship alike.
Together with a formidable surface fleet, the U-boats challenged the Royal Navy"s traditional supremacy of the oceans, countering
Britain"s strength in numbers with reign of silent terror.
A decade of secret rebuilding had brought forth capital ships like Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Prinz Eugen - names to strike fear
into any allied seafarer.
But it was from under the water that the biggest threat was to come.
Commanded by Admiral Karl Doenitz, the submarines laid waste to shipping, cutting supply lines and striking from within convoys
where Allied escorts dare not use guns.
The U-boat captains were the equivalent of Luftwaffe aces - ruthless, cunning and ice-cool under pressure.
Enduring harsh conditions for months on end and working in darkness with no chance of escape, this was truly a war of nerves.
"There is no margin for error in a submarine," said one captain. "You are either alive or dead."
The story of that war is told here using rare archive footage, much of which has been unavailable in the West since World War II.

The use of genuine wartime imagery will not produce the visual quality expected of modern technologie.
Note that in order not to overcrop the picture some of the imagery could not be cropped completely.
