La Bataille de l'Atlantique

Propaganda Leaflet F13

Key importance of Battle of the Atlantic outlined by Churchill, Rear Admiral Gadow and Lieutenant Commander Ambrosius in 1941.

Germany’s defence strategy and Britain’s counter-offensive delineated with plans, methods and progress. Despite Britain’s and Allies’ heavy losses up to June 1941, the counter-offensive is causing difficulties for the German submarines.

Photographs of German commanders captured or killed at sea (Prien, Kretschmer, Schepke) and prisoner of war crew. Signs of low morale in submarine crews. French asked to make sure any leave taken at French submarine bases is as difficult as possible.

1941
