Outline

In April 1917, German U-boats were sinking a dozen British ships every day. The first sea lord, Jellicoe, warned that Britain might not be able to carry on fighting into 1918.

In the second of this two-part series, David Hayman explores Germany’s World War One U-boat threat and the fascinating and dastardly ploys Britain used against the submarines.
