Dark Seas | The Submarines that Completely Changed WW2 @DarkDocsSeas | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 16 hours ago.
The wolf pack of 13 U-boats patrolled the Atlantic when it detected convoy SC 107, comprising 42 ships and an escort of five warships.
It had departed from Canada and was bound for the United Kingdom to deliver valuable supplies to support the war effort.
The commerce raiders went swiftly after them, recruiting the help of three other submarines along the way.
One day later, SC 107 was sighted. Still, the U-boats had to refrain from the attack after Allied aircraft broke off the initial charge of two hunters, destroying them from above.
Nonetheless, when the third night came, the wolf pack attacked with unparalleled coordination, sinking ship after ship to the dismay of the five escorts.
The restless submarines kept isolating the convoy as the hours went by, fully committed to sinking every one of the 42 ships. The question was: did they have enough torpedoes to achieve the task?
