Produktbeschreibung

After experiencing a runaway success against American and Allied shipping off the U.S. East Coast, the German U-boat offensive against the United States begins to wane by May 1942. The resulting drop in success forces the Germans to begin a new phase of operations by opening a second front-the shipping in the untouched waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the northern Caribbean. The heavy ship losses begin again until the Navy is inevitably able to inaugurate a comprehensive interlocking system of coastal convoys embracing the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and the East Coast by the end of the summer of 1942. This volume of the two-volume set begins with the opening of the Germans' second front in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean in May 1942 and follows its progress until the end of the formal U-boat offensive after the summer of 1942. Thereafter, the German strategy becomes one of containment to tie up Allied resources with nuisance raids and mining operations in U.S. waters in a downhill struggle until the bitter denouement of the U-boat war, which concludes in May 1945.
