The history of German U-boats - terror of the deep
The name "U-boat" (short for the German Unterseeboot) inspired fear on the seas and oceans. German submarines were a symbol of effective, surprise attacks from the depths. Their history dates back to World War I, but it was during World War II that they gained the nickname "wolf packs" preying on Allied convoys.
The Type VII, to which U-52 belonged, was the most widely produced and exceptionally effective model. Despite their technological advancement, these submarines were also deadly to their own crews – the mortality rate among submariners was among the highest in the Kriegsmarine.
Type VIIB – the New Generation
The Type VIIB was an improved version of the Type VIIA. It had increased range thanks to additional fuel tanks, improved maneuverability, and a new torpedo tube arrangement allowed it to carry as many as 14 torpedoes. These submarines were also armed with an 8.8 cm gun to destroy damaged ships, allowing them to conserve torpedoes. Compact but deadly, they were a threat even to convoys they were escorting.
U-52 – Lonely Hunter
Commissioned in 1937, launched in 1938, and commissioned in February 1939, U-52 operated under the command of Kapitänleutnant Wolfgang Barten. She participated in the Battle of the Atlantic, completing eight patrols and sinking thirteen Allied ships. She reached a speed of 17.9 knots on the surface and 8 knots submerged. She was finally sunk in Gdańsk in 1945 and dismantled between 1946 and 1947
