The U-boat, the submarine of the German Navy, was a hidden predator, which would steal up on its prey out of sight beneath the waves. The tactics were much like the wild wolf of the forest, and just as the wolf was even more effective in groups, cornering its quarry before catching it, so Admiral Karl Dönitz chose to use the grey hulls of his submarines in packs - 'wolf packs'. In this empathetic and deeply researched volume, the author delves beneath the myths and legends of submarinal action and convoy protection to discuss the realities of wolf pack deployment. 15.
