Sommario/riassunto

This book provides an in-depth operational analysis of German submarine operations against Allied convoys during March 1943, a pivotal moment in the Battle of the Atlantic during World War II. The author, Bruce E. Grooms, examines the strategic and operational decisions made by Admiral Dönitz and the German Navy, highlighting both their successes and failures. The analysis identifies critical flaws in Germany's operational plans, including inadequate strategic guidance, underutilization of operational intelligence, and lack of joint coordination with air support. The work aims to extract lessons from these historical events that can be applied to modern military operational planning and execution. The intended audience includes military strategists, historians, and individuals interested in World War



II naval warfare.
