Effective tactics do not change. The blitz krieg is still the most effective conventional tactics and U-drons are still the most prioritised Hi-tech naval weapons of today...

Germany tried to starve an island nation into submission by u-boat warfare and failed. The United State's Navy did accomplish that goal with another island nation, Japan. She was strangled by the magnificent fleet submarines of the Silent Service.

Brave men fighting for the wrong side.

They were just following orders. Heil Hitler!

Gerhard Thater of U466 had five patrols,(182 days at sea) and no boats sunk or damadged!

Had their radio transmission codes not been broken..., and if Hitler had waited another year to declare war against the US... we'd all likely be speaking German today.

In early months of 1942 relatively tiny group of German U-boats sunk so much bauxite that US aircraft production was reduced by 25% of that planned. In 1942-43 US Army lost more material sunk by German U-boats than German army could destroy in battlefield. As late as early 1945 Hitler forced German army do defend Courland (Baltic) so than Kriegsmarine had place to test and trained they crews of revolutionary new XXI generation U-boats. U-boats had high priority until very end of Third Reich.
U-BOATS: The Most Feared Fighting Ships Of The Battle - World Documentary Films HD. U-boat is the anglicised version of the German word U-Boot [ˈuːboːt] ( listen), a shortening of Unterseeboot, literally "undersea boat". While the German term refers to any submarine, the English one (in common with several other languages) refers specifically to military submarines operated by Germany, particularly in the First and Second World Wars. Although at times they were efficient fleet weapons against enemy naval warships, they were most effectively used in an economic warfare role (commerce raiding), enforcing a naval blockade against enemy shipping. The primary targets of the U-boat campaigns in both wars were the merchant convoys bringing supplies from Canada, the British Empire, and the United States to the islands of the United Kingdom and (during the Second World War) to the Soviet Union and the Allied territories in the Mediterranean.

Both sides were good and bad but both were good at what they did. Total respect to both sides but also to the merchants sailors. What a loss and waste.
This battle was mainly between the Tommies and the Germans. The code breakers, the radars, the Leigh lights, Hud Duff, Hedgehog, Sonar, convoy tactics and hunter killer destroyer coopeation groups.
The Americans learned very quickly and their planes were very important. And they manufactured everything so much quicker than the British. They needed and helped each other.
But the real star of this battle on the Allies was a British commander called Walker. Very interesting man. His methods changed the situation very much. Like Kretschmer he was the best kind of Leader.
