German U-Boat Captains Laughed At Canada's "Tin-Pot Navy"...Until The Corvettes Started Sinking Them

They called it the "Tin-Pot Navy." In 1939, Germany's elite U-Boat captains, masters of the Atlantic, openly mocked Canada's tiny 13-ship fleet. That laughter would cost them the war. This is the incredible true story of the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) and its secret weapon: the Flower-class Corvette. Manned by the RCNVR—the "Wavy Navy" of volunteer farmers, bankers, and students—these small, tough, and punishingly uncomfortable ships were mass-produced for one purpose: to hunt the German wolfpacks. "Canadian WW2 Tales" takes you deep into the brutal North Atlantic, from the desperate early days of Convoy SC-15 to the decisive turning point of "Black May" 1943. Discover how Canadian-led escort groups, armed with new technology like Hedgehog mortars and advanced radar, turned the tide from hunted to hunter, protecting the Allied lifeline and devastating the U-boat fleet. This is the story of how Canada's "Tin-Pot Navy" grew into the 3rd largest Allied navy in the world and became the masters of the Atlantic. ► SUBSCRIBE to Canadian WW2 Tales for more stories of Canada's Greatest Generation: [    / canadianww2tales   ] #battleoftheatlantic #RoyalCanadianNavy #ww2
