Desperate Depths Autumn of 1944 with US Forces Well Established Desperate Depths Autumn of 1944 With US forces well established in liberated France and Soviet troops pushing into Eastern Europe, Nazi Germany is struggling to supply its armies while desperately trying to field its super weapons. The V-2 mobile launch platform cruise missile, the Messerschmitt 262 jet fighter, the type XXI Elektroboot submarine, all are barely beyond the prototype stage, built in a crumbling economy that is managed by a bureacracy under pressure to meet impossible demands with slave labor while different departments compete for scarce resources. The type XXI is a revolutionary concept, the first real modern submarine. It operates primarily submerged with a snorkel to run the diesels and recharge the batteries for 8 hours every 3 days. It features radar and sonar systems, runs silent and faster than many surface ships, and carries enough rapid loading torpedoes to sink a flotilla. The accommmodations are luxurious compared to the earlier type VII C. But the situation being what it is, only 4 out of over a hundred type XXIs constructed are ever put into service after extensive post- production work, and those never become as reliable as the old submersible VII C torpedo boats. That is what the official record states. But another type XXI, U-2553, is rushed into service in secret, dispatched with sealed orders, and charged with a frantic hail-mary to turn the war around. SS officers are added to the experienced sailor crew. They are tight lipped and dismissive, to be delivered somewhere in the South Atlantic with their luggage of several heavy crates. In the dark of night along the African coast a type XIV 'Milchkuh' supply submarine is waiting to rendezvous for a final restocking. During approach the veteran sailors of U-2553 congratulate each other for sinking two Allied freighters on the way and speculate about the nature of the mission ahead in hushed voices.

  • Seeschlachten Im Atlantik (Zusammenfassung)
    Seeschlachten im Atlantik (Zusammenfassung) U-Boot-Krieg (aus Wikipedia) 07_48/U 995 vom Typ VII C/41, der meistgebauten U-Boot-Klasse im Zweiten Weltkrieg Als U-Boot-Krieg (auch "Unterseebootkrieg") werden Kampfhandlungen zur See bezeichnet, bei denen U-Boote eingesetzt werden, um feindliche Kriegs- und Frachtschiffe zu versenken. Die Bezeichnung "uneingeschränkter U-Boot-Krieg" wird verwendet, wenn Schiffe ohne vorherige Warnung angegriffen werden. Der Einsatz von U-Booten wandelte sich im Laufe der Zeit vom taktischen Blockadebrecher zum strategischen Blockademittel im Rahmen eines Handelskrieges. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg änderte sich die grundsätzliche Einsatzdoktrin durch die Entwicklung von Raketen tragenden Atom- U-Booten, die als Träger von Kernwaffen eine permanente Bedrohung über den maritimen Bereich hinaus darstellen. Im Gegensatz zum Ersten und Zweiten Weltkrieg fand hier keine völkerrechtliche Weiterentwicklung zum Einsatz von U-Booten statt. Der Begriff wird besonders auf den Ersten und Zweiten Weltkrieg bezogen. Hierbei sind auch völkerrechtliche Rahmenbedingungen von Bedeutung. Anfänge Während des Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieges wurden 1864 mehrere handgetriebene U-Boote gebaut. Am 17. Februar 1864 versenkte die C.S.S. H. L. Hunley durch eine Sprengladung das Kriegsschiff USS Housatonic der Nordstaaten. Es gab 5 Tote auf dem versenkten Schiff. Die Hunley gilt somit als erstes U-Boot der Welt, das ein anderes Schiff zerstört hat. Das U-Boot wurde allerdings bei dem Angriff auf die Housatonic durch die Detonation schwer beschädigt und sank, wobei auch seine achtköpfige Besatzung getötet wurde. Auftrag der Hunley war die Brechung der Blockade des Südstaatenhafens Charleston durch die Nordstaaten. Erster Weltkrieg Die technische Entwicklung der U-Boote bis zum Beginn des Ersten Weltkrieges beschreibt ein Boot, das durch Dampf-, Benzin-, Diesel- oder Petroleummaschinen über Wasser und durch batteriegetriebene Elektromotoren unter Wasser angetrieben wurde.

The Kriegsmarine used a form of encoding called Gradnetzmeldeverfahren to denote regions on a map. Because of the long time it would take to get the Plan Z fleet ready for action and shortage in workers and material in wartime, Plan Z was essentially shelved in September and the resources allocated for its realization were largely redirected to the construction of U-boats , which would be ready for war against the United Kingdom more quickly. In conjunction with the lightly armed utility version, the M20, it was the staple of the army's cavalry squadrons As can be expected of a book so short, it is very sparce on detail.

  • Den 11. Marts 1945 Var Broen Ved Remagen (Ludendorff Broen) Fast I Amerikanske Hænder Og Man Var I Fuld Gang Med at Udvide Brohovedet På Den Østlige Side Af Rhinen
    Den 11. marts 1945 var broen ved Remagen (Ludendorff broen) fast i amerikanske hænder og man var i fuld gang med at udvide brohovedet på den østlige side af Rhinen. Luftwaffe havde de foregående dage forsøgt at bombe broen, men havde ikke haft held til at ødelægge den eller forsinke de amerikanske forstærkninger i at rykke over broen. I tidsrummet mellem den 7. og 14. marts fløj Luftwaffe 372 sorties mod broen ved Remagen, hvorved de ifølge amerikanske beregninger mistede 80 fly. Amerikanske jagerfly var til stadighed i luften over Remagen for at beskytte broen mod luftangreb .Grundet beskydning, tung trafik samt manglende vedligeholdelse var broen beskadiget og amerikanske ingeniørtropper var travlt beskæftiget med at forstærke broen. Den 17. marts styrtede broen i Rhinen, hvorved 33 amerikanske ingeniørsoldater omkom og 63 andre blev kvæstet. Ingeniørsoldaterne havde i mellemtiden bygget pontonbroer over Rhinen og det lykkedes amerikanerne at få 25.000 soldater, kampvogne, artilleri og lastbiler over Rhinen, før Ludendorff broen styrtede sammen. (Fold3) Den 11. marts 1945 Den 10. marts 1945 sprængte de tyske styrker broerne over Rhinen ved Wesel og efterlod kun mindre styrker på den vestlige bred af brohovedet ved Wesel. På grund af lavthængende skydække var det lykkedes for tyskerne at rykke forholdsvis uhindret tilbage over Rhinen, idet vejret forhindrede 2 TAF i at gennemføre effektiv rekognoscering samt at bombe broerne. Efter at amerikanerne havde erobret broen over Rhinen ved Remagen, var det lykkedes for de amerikanske styrker at føre større mængder tropper og materiel (herunder kampvogne) over Rhinen og udvide brohovedet på den østlige side af Rhinen.
