Notes from today:
a U-Boat from germany was generally tracked and stuff because we wanted to avoid them and also know where they were at.
U-Boats generally traveled in "wolf Packs" to avoid being attacked when they were vulnerable and alone.
Allied Intelligence:
Churchill and tooselvelt knew the importance of in safegaurd allied commerce to defear the Axis Power.
Allied Intelligence leaders made Code names called "ULTRA" and "MAGIC"
Radar was used to fight back against german U-Boats.
Enigma was a system in which Germany transferred their information through codes.
solving the enigma system remains one of the Great allied triumphs of World War 2 in europe
the movie "U571" deals with some U.S navy people trying to steal the machine that had top secret mission stuff.
the Bombe was used to help break codes that they intercepted from the germans and the U-Boats.
Hunter-Killers were boats that went out to hunt down and kill the submarines and other german U-boats.
the best weapon again the germans were depth chargers.... they were kinda like underwater explosives that blew them up
