When Nazi Germany struck out from her borders in 1939,the untold force and efficiency of its land and air forces cut an unstoppable swath through mainland Europe.It was only at sea that their new found might was tamed.Hitler's fear of the
Royal Navy kept his most lethal ships hidden in bolt-holes,he was frightened to confront the British fleet in battle - an action the Kriesgsmarine most probably would have won through superior ships and guns had they confronted their enemy.It was the dogged determination of British seafarers throughout the early part of the war that caused the final demise of the German big-ship fleet and left the U-boat and E-boat to fight Hitler's war at sea.
This is the story of how,despite all odds,the RN helped Britain survive during the crucial times of the Battle of the Atlantic,the siege of Malta,the convoys to
northern Russia and the D-Day landings.
It also tells why their fully-stretched forces could not play the part they wished
in the Eastern and Pacific war - it is a book that gives the true facts of the Royal Navy at war in WW2.
