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.

A Type XIV U-459 U-boat. This was a supply boat, also dubbed "Milk Cows". These had no torpedo tubes or any offensive weapons, but they had anti-aircraft guns for self-defense. Only ten were ever built, and all were systematically sunk by the Allies.
