Why German U-Boat Captains Were Stunned by America’s Hunter-Killer Groups

Uncover the stunning true story of how American Hunter-Killer Groups turned the tide of the Battle of the Atlantic and crushed the German U-boat threat during World War II. In early 1943, Nazi wolfpacks were sinking Allied convoys at record levels—threatening to sever the vital supply route between the United States and Britain. But within just eight months, newly deployed US Navy Hunter-Killer Groups—built around escort carriers such as USS Bogue and USS Card—completely transformed the war at sea. This expertly researched documentary reveals how cutting-edge radar, sonar, Hedgehog mortars, acoustic torpedoes, and Ultra intelligence enabled the U.S. Navy to locate, track, and destroy German submarines with unprecedented precision. Through firsthand accounts, declassified war records, and dramatic battle reports, follow the relentless pursuit of U-boats, including the legendary fight between USS Buckley and U-66 and the systematic elimination of Germany’s submarine supply network. Discover how American industrial power and innovative naval tactics reduced German U-boat effectiveness by 90%, sank 67 submarines in under a year, and ultimately ended Hitler’s most lethal weapon system. This is the definitive story of how technology, air-sea coordination, and tactical brilliance turned hunters into the hunted—and secured victory in the Atlantic.
