World War II: Battlefield Europe - Season 1 Episode 8 Britain and Germany's Standoff at Sea
The world today is a product of the second world war in too many ways to count.
Here, explore how Grand Admiral Erich Raeder and Karl Donitz shaped Germany's surface and U-boat fleets, how Germany and Britain faced a whale-elephant" problem during the war at sea, and how the daring British attack on the naval base at Taranto in 1940 hinted at the attack on U.S. forces at Pearl Harbor a year later.
