The Hedgehog Strike That Broke the U-Boat Myth in Just Half an Hour

In the spring of World War II, German U-boats ruled the Atlantic. Allied convoys were hunted relentlessly, and survival often depended on luck. Then, in just thirty minutes, everything changed. This documentary explores the moment when the Royal Navy deployed a revolutionary anti-submarine weapon known as Hedgehog—a forward-firing system that shattered long-held assumptions about naval warfare. In a single engagement, seven German Type VII submarines were neutralized, an outcome even the German Navy initially dismissed as impossible. Through historical records, tactical analysis, and firsthand accounts, this video explains how the Hedgehog worked, why it was so different from traditional depth charges, and how it helped turn the tide of the Battle of the Atlantic. This is not just a story about a weapon. It’s the story of innovation, resistance to change, and the moment the hunters beneath the waves became the hunted.
