The most dangerous line of attack during World War II wasn't the German planes soaring above Britain, but the U-Boats cutting off their supplies of food and equipment. Learners research the Battle of the Atlantic, the German campaign to isolate the British Empire from its American and Canadian allies, and write a report about its significance on the national stage.
