How important was the Battle of the Atlantic? (U-boat bases, Norway, Britain, France, and more!)

The Battle of the Atlantic was waged between 1939 and 1945, but how important was it? What would have happened if the Allies had lost it? How did it help gain victory? And what would have happened if the u-boats had been used in Norway instead? Also, what would have happened to France after the war if Germany had won? Let's find out.

ABOUT TIK 📝

History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.

This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.
