Roger Moorhouse

Wolfpack: Inside Hitler’s U-Boat War

Wednesday 1 October
Castle Hill Baptist Church
7.30pm

Winston Churchill famously remarked that the threat of the German U-Boats was the only thing that had really frightened him during the Second World War. For Allied seamen, the U-Boat was a hidden menace, a faceless killer lurking beneath the waves.

Now Roger Moorhouse gives the U-Boatmen a voice, allowing their side of the narrative to be aired for the first time. Wolfpack takes us from the heady early days of the war, when U-Boat crews were buoyed with optimism about their cause, through the challenges of the Allied counterthreat, to the final horror of defeat, with the deaths of 30,000 German submariners – three-quarters of the number deployed – their U-Boats captured or scuttled in ignominy.

Join Roger to explore their story of courage, fear, privation and, ultimately, failure.
