The German commander Paulus asked to break out of Stalingrad to save his army, but Hitler refused him permission and instead promised supplies to keep the German troops going. However, only a limited number of supplies ever reached the German troops. Starving and without army supplies, the 90,000 German troops surrendered on 30th January 1943. Did You Know?

This offensive was called ‘Operation Citadel’ by Hitler. The Battle of Kursk (from 5th to 16th July 1943) was one of the most important battles and the loss of men and machinery on both the German and Russian sides was huge. However, the Russians could quickly reinforce their army and replace troops as they were on home soil. The German attack on Leningrad ended in 1944, after two years of fighting. By the end of the year, all of the German troops had left Russia and the Russians were ready to attack Germany. Why did the German attack on Russia fail? • Stalin moved over 1,500 factories to stop them falling into German hands. • Hitler thought the invasion would be short and did not plan for it to last through the hard Russian winter.

At the start of the war, Germany only had 22 U-boats in the Atlantic, but they were very successful in sinking a large number of cargo ships that were bound for Britain. U-boats would attack in ‘wolfpacks’ at night and it is estimated that Britain lost a quarter of its merchant fleet in 1941. Winston Churchill claimed that nothing scared him more throughout the war than the ‘U-boat peril’. A photo of the German U-boat 534. An RAF bomber sank her in May 1945 and she is now on display in Birkenhead in England. © Teaching Packs - World War II - Page 61 Protecting cargo ships Britain attempted to protect these ships by putting them together in convoys that were escorted by large warships called destroyers. Destroyers used a device called sonar to detect the position of U- boats under the water. If a U-boat was located, depth charges were fired which would explode underwater at a certain depth. If they were near enough, these explosions could crush or tear apart a U-boat. HMS Cavalier, a C-class destroyer served in World War II. HMS Belfast struck a German mine after the start of World War II. After repairs, U-boats could only stay underwater for a limited time she returned to action in 1942. before the air on board grew unbreathable. This meant they had to surface, leaving them vulnerable to attack as they could easily be spotted by ships and aircraft. At night, British destroyers used radar and large search lights to detect surfaced U-boats. Images © ThinkStock © Teaching Packs - World War II - Page 62 The end of the ‘U-boat peril’ In 1942 over six million tonnes of British and American shipping was sunk. By January 1943, this had left Britain with only two months supply of oil. As a result, Britain produced 14 million tonnes of new ships. This turned the tide on the Germans, who began to suffer severe losses. The use of long range aircraft to detect and destroy U-boats had a devastating effect. By the end of 1943, German U-boats had only managed to sink 51 ships in the Atlantic, whilst the Germans had lost 237 U-boats. It is estimated that 72% of Germans serving on U-boats perished during the war. Did You Know? The Japanese began using ‘kamikaze’ pilots in 1944. They flew planes into US ships, killing themselves and many others. An illustration of an American World War II aircraft carrier. © Teaching Packs - World War II - Page 63 Image © ThinkStock.

  • Introduction This Is a Hardback Reprint of the Original Book, Published in 2011
    Destroyer D01 – the story of HMS Caprice 1942 - 1979 Introduction This is a hardback reprint of the original book, published in 2011. I have made some revisions and additions from information received since then. The idea for this book came from the HMS Caprice (1968) Association; originally to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Caprice’s memorable cruise around the world in 1968. However, with input from the Association’s website and from material provided from many who had served aboard during the destroyer’s 30 years service it became obvious that we had become the de facto archives for the ship’s entire history. Despite its D01 pennant number Caprice was not the Royal Navy's first destroyer! She was, however, 'one of the best' to many who served in her. She also was the first of her class to be launched and the last to finally decommission. This, then, is the story of HMS Caprice and of all those who served in her during her service with the fleet from 1943 to 1973. I have tried to include as much human interest material as possible – a warship is much more than just steel and guns – it’s all about the men who live, work and play in her. Those who man the guns, keep watch, scrub the decks, cook the food, operate and maintain the machinery, keep a lookout, monitor the radar and sonar, it is they that make a warship what it is. Although we are nominally claiming copyright for this book anyone may freely use the information and images contained within, providing it is not for commercial profit.
