Since getting back into Silent Hunter Ive been on a submarine kick. Thought I'd share some of the good web stuff Ive found the last few weeks.

US Submarines, Pacific War

Really not much out there about the still relatively unknown yet critical US submarine war against Japan. Here's a documentary done by the US Navy just after the war detailing the US submarine campaign. (1 of 6 youtube vids)

Not really specific to submarines, but still a great tune:

Battle of the Atlantic

Tons of sites dedicated to this, especially about U-Boats. Probably the best site is U-Boat.net which has just about everything you'll ever want to know about U-Boats.

 

1. If you can find it, the BBC's "The World at War" episode on the U-Boat campaign is fantastic (as is the whole series).

 

2. Part of the excellent "Battlefield" series, this has got the whole Battle of the Atlantic episode minus the first segment. (2 of 12 youtube vids)

3. Part of "Battlefield II" series, missing the first segment. (2 of 10 youtube vids)

5. German newsreel, first half of which covers the return of U-181, commanded by Wolfgang Luth, the second most successful U-Boat commander in WWII.
