U-Boat Photo Gallery
This photo gallery attempts to capture the epic struggle of the U-boat force during the Battle of the Atlantic. During the war, German U-boats sent over 2900 ships and 14 million tons of allied shipping to the bottom of the sea, nearly cutting off the vital supplies of food, fuel and raw materials of Great Britain.

This is a photo of John Tennant and my Great Uncle Frederick Frood who went down with the HMS Courageous on Sept. 17th in 1939. My great grandmother never got over his death and convinced herself that he had been taken prison and would one day return. She believed this until the day she died. War is very sad indeed!!! suedraper@cogeco.ca

A young U-boat commander on a debriefing with Donitz, while his adjutant (in white uniform) looks on. Donitz had as much as possible, personally meet returning crews and skippers so as to draw the proper lessons after every patrol. He was quickly promoted to Rear Admiral, Grand Admiral and finally succeeded Hitler after the latter's suicide.
