The "Illegal" Tactic That Saved Britain: Why He Disobeyed Orders

In 1941, Britain was on the brink of starvation. German U-boats were sinking ships faster than they could be built, and the Royal Navy's depth charge success rate was a pathetic 3%. The Admiralty stuck to rigid protocols, but one man, Commander Frederic John Walker, discovered a fatal mathematical error in their tactics: the "Sonar Blind Spot." Walker realized that during the final 30-second approach, U-boats were diving deeper than the Navy believed possible—to 500 feet. When his request to change tactics was rejected with a red stamp, he made a career-ending decision: he would disobey orders. This video tells the incredible true story of how Walker modified his weapons illegally, utilized the revolutionary "Creeping Attack," and destroyed two of Germany's greatest submarine aces (Otto Kretschmer and Joachim Schepke) in a single night. It’s a story of mathematics, rebellion, and the lonely genius who worked himself to death to save his country. In this video, we cover: The "30-Second Blind Spot" that allowed U-boats to escape. Why the Admiralty banned the 500ft depth setting. The night of March 17, 1941: The hunt for U-99 and U-100.
