{"product_id":"9781780969756","title":"U-boat Tactics in World War II","description":"At the start of the war, German U-boat technology vastly out performed that possessed by the Allies, and under the pressure of the war continual development helped keep pace with wartime needs and improvements in anti-submarine weaponry. But it was not just the technology that had to change. German U-boat tactics evolved over time. Used in a variety of roles, from coastal patrolling through to the combined actions of convey-hunting 'wolf packs', the tactics used by U-Boats were diverse. This book analyses how the U-boats dominated the seas thanks to their innovative and daring tactical deployment, and how the cracking of the Enigma code effectively hamstrung them, greatly reducing their impact, a problem that even their advanced tactics failed to solve.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47300758995184,"sku":"9781780969756","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781780969756_p0.jpg?v=1769891305","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781780969756","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
