They Called His Night Attack Impossible — Until He Sunk Four Submarines in the Moonlight

In 1942, the Battle of the Atlantic was turning against Britain. German U-boats were destroying merchant convoys faster than new ships could be launched, and RAF Coastal Command had managed to sink only a single submarine in the Bay of Biscay throughout all of 1941. Specialists insisted that attacking surfaced U-boats at night was “practically unachievable.” Yet everything changed because of one man. Wing Commander Humphrey de Verd Leigh—an aging pilot with no formal engineering background—secretly assembled a homemade searchlight in his own workshop using car headlights. The Air Ministry declared it unauthorized. Senior engineers claimed it was impossible to operate. His commanding officer even warned him he could face a court-martial. 💬 If you have stories about World War II or your ancestors shared them with you, share them below. 🔔 Follow to see more real moments where respect is shown through actions, not words. #ww2 #worldwar2 #worldwar #ww2history #ww2sercets #ww2facts #ww2history #worldwar2history
