Britain, Germany and the Battle of the Atlantic: A Comparative Study - Bloomsbury Studies in Military History Dennis Haslop

Marc Notes: Originally published: 2013.; The length, scale and intensity of the Battle of the Atlantic led the British and German navies to make substantial changes to their organisation, strategy and tactics. In this book, Dennis Haslop examines the pivotal lessons learned, and how these determined the outcome of the Battle of the Atlantic Convoy War. He questions how well adapted the two organisations were to learn from the conflict, and how effective they were in identifying problems and producing remedies.
