Battle of the Atlantic: The Day the U-Boats Fled

As World War II progressed towards its fifth year, the German war machine, which for Adolf Hitler had once seemed so assured of military supremacy, was well and truly faltering. Defeat at Stalingrad in February 1943 had cost the Nazis dear and the Allies were well placed to capitalize on their advantage. However, the Allied leaders were all too aware of the dangers still to be overcome, and they proceeded with the utmost caution, beginning to take tentative but very positive steps towards victory.
