In 1941, German U-boat captains mockingly called Allied radar "the magic eye." They weren't afraid of it, and for two long, terrible years, their wolfpacks dominated the Atlantic, bringing Britain to the brink of starvation. This is the hidden story of the secret "Wizard War" that changed everything.
While the U-boats hunted convoys with impunity, Allied scientists were racing to solve an "impossible" math problem: how to create high-power, centimetric radar. Their solution, a tiny device called the cavity magnetron, was the most important secret of the war.
This video explores how that one invention, shared with the US during the Tizard Mission, led to a revolution in naval warfare. See how new radar on destroyers and planes, combined with tactical innovations like Huff-Duff and the "Hedgehog" mortar, finally allowed the Allies to see in the dark. Witness the story of "Black May" 1943, the catastrophic month that broke the back of the U-boat arm and secured the Allied victory in the Atlantic.
