Keys to the U-Boat War?
Posted by: BROJD ()

I'm developing a 30-minute presentation on the U-Boat War in WWII. I want to have a small bit on the key weapons platforms and technologies. However, because I only have 30 minutes, I really need to keep this simple and basic -- and representative.

For U-Boats, I'll stick with the VII and IX.

What about three escorts that are representative of all? Maybe a Flower-class, Fletcher-class, and one or two other ones -- like an early-war corvette and something late war?

Weapons and techs? SONAR/ASDIC, Radar, HF/DF, hedgehogs, ULTRA, anything else?

Remember, I'm trying to keep this basic, simple, and representative.

Thanks!
