Description:
The German submarines terrorised Allied shipping, sinking around 2,600 vessels. Yet the sailors sent to serve in U-boats knew their chances of survival were low. Out of 17,000 men who served, more than 5,100 lost their lives. Serving on a U-boat was one of the most dangerous occupations in the entire war.Added to timeline:
