U-Boat’s Final Moments – The Weapon That Sank 47 Submarines

In May 1944, a revolutionary weapon changed submarine warfare forever when USS Eugene E. Elmore hunted down U-549 in the Atlantic, avenging the sinking of USS Block Island in just 42 minutes. This is the incredible true story of the Hedgehog anti-submarine weapon, developed by Britain's secretive "Wheezers and Dodgers" team, that eliminated the fatal 90-second blind spot that allowed U-boats to escape depth charge attacks. While depth charges achieved only one kill per 80 attacks, Hedgehog's contact-fused projectiles achieved one kill per five attacks, sinking 47 submarines during World War Two. Witness USS England's unprecedented rampage in the Pacific, destroying six Japanese submarines in just 12 days, and discover how this simple yet deadly weapon—24 spigot mortars firing 65-pound projectiles that only exploded on contact with submarine hulls—turned the tide of the Battle of the Atlantic and revolutionized naval warfare forever. ‎🔔 Subscribe for more untold WW2 stories:     / ‪@Since1940s‬ ‎👍 Like this video if you learned something new ‎💬 Comment below: What other WW2 tactics should we cover? ‎ ‎#worldwar2​ #ww2history​ #ww2​ #wwii​ #Since1940s ‎ ‎⚠️ Disclaimer: This is entertainment storytelling based on WW2 events from internet sources.
