Throughout the history of naval warfare, it has been common practice to absorb captured enemy vessels into one’s own fleet, bolstering numbers and replacing losses. A common occurrence in the days of great sailing vessels firing cannonballs at one another, with the invention of high explosive shells, often captured enemy vessels became too damaged during a fight to be of use to anyone however there have of course been many exceptions.
In this episode, we are going to examine the story of how a German U-boat, the terror of the Allied convoys, found itself hoisting the white ensign of the Royal Navy and joining in the campaign against Nazi ambitions at sea. This is the story of the Royal Navy’s U-boat.
Welcome to Wars of the World.
