tive means of attacking them.
In September 1039 Germany had
some 60 submarines, half of them
small coastal U-boats used for
training. Of those capablepof
high-seas service, only a-portion
were available at any one time.
Battleships 'and heavily armed
raiders disguised as cargo ships
attacked lone merchantmen or
stragglers from convoys. Seldom
did they attack a whole convoy
as the German pocket battleship
"Admiral Scheer" did one day
in November 1940. The Scheer
sank only 'one ship that day, -
fOr one single, magnificent
reason: the British armed mer-
chant cruiser , "Jarvis Bay";
hopelessly outgunned, sacrificed
herself 'to let the convoy es-
cape: .
Apart from a blockade of
Britain 'by mines and .aircraft,
the first real German attempt to
combat "the 'convoy system came
Mainly through, submarine at-
"itactes in coaStal'areas and the
approaches to British ports.
To, prepare for larger things,
both sides stepped up the produc-
tion of ships. The, Allies built
more merchantmen and convoy
excore vessels, notably vat first
the corvette; the Germans turned
out more and more submarines.
As the U-boats increased in num-
ber and endurance, they were
sent ever farther -into the At-
lantic, seeking the incoming con-
voys. They were spurred west-
ward by the growing strength of
air and sea patrols in British
waters. soon U-boats were
stalking their prey off Newipund-
land and No-Va Scotia. • ,
At first a convey , had anti-
submarine 'escorts only for a
feli'hundred miles on both sides
of the ocean. In mid-Atlantic,
its only protection was' a British
battleship or armed merchant
cruiser - a converted merchant-
man - to deal with surface rai-
ders. But as the U-boats pressed
westward, the, convoys needed
shore-to-shore protection from
destroyers and corvettes, a re-
quirement which spread the es-
corts very thin. A convoy, of
do Merchantmen required a
shield of six or eight warships
- and each warship spent one third
of its life, in refit. There was
a high weather-damage rate be-
cause convoyS sailed on schedule,
regardless of storms.
In mid-1941 the Germans in-

ately, it was in a Parking meter." From the outset, under plans laid well 'before the war, Allied
merchant ships were organized
in convoys, disciplined groups 'of
Shirs travelling- together, and the
.Germans at first had no' effec- - number of U-boats ,available for
troduced wolf pack tactics: sub-
marines about 20 miles apart
were organized into long ,patrol
lines across the.convoy routes.
Each line had up to. 20 U-boats
and sometimes five or six lines
were at sea atone time. All boats
were controlled by radio from
Admiral Karl Donitz's headquar-
ters in France. When a U-boat
sighted a convoy, it radioed its
position and shadowed the in- ,
tended victims until the rest of
the pack could be brought into
striking range. Then the whole
pack attacked, often at night,
usually on the surface, from
several directions. They some-
times got in among-the 'merchant
ships. Escorts were hard
pressed to meet the attacks or
to seek survivors of torpedoed
ships.
In the st stage of the bat-
tle, Ger Sny, fighting to cut
Britain's- lifeline. But after the
United States entered the war,'
the U-boat crews knew they were
fighting for larger stakes - to
prevent the massing, of an Allied
invasion force in Britain. The

operations in 1942, rose from .
al. in January to 212 in Decem-
ber and• the .1942 toll of shipping
was 8;000,000 tons.'
And the wcif packs .grew ever
_stronger. In March 1943, they
sank 627,000 tons - 75 percent
• in convoy. Then, alms. t unex-,
pectedly, the tide of battle was
reversed. Convoys had more and
more air' protection, nevi support
groups roamed the Atlantic,
better radar and other anti-sub-
'marine weapons went into ser-
vice. In one six-week peridd
the U-boats suffered such heavy
lossei 'that Donitz ,was forced
. to withdraw his battered fleet.
It returned later but never agate
as 'a really serious threat.
.This sudden "and decisive
Allied victory was won by brave
men arme,d with a superb corn-.
bination of 'vital tools of, war -
. ships and, weapons whose inven=
. tion, development and production
came to fruition, in the Allies' •
hour of greatest need. It was
in part a victory of Allied
scientists over enemy scientists.
