About this listen

 The first British major success of World War II was when the Royal Navy forced the preying pocket battleship, Graf Spee, to scuttle at sea. Hitler had ordered a blockade of the British Isles and for some months German U-boats and warships caused havoc among allied merchant shipping carrying vital supplies. In 1941, the one sided battle of the Atlantic became more even when the Royal Navy started moving ships in convoy with escorts using radar and information from British scientists who had cracked the Kreigsmarine version of the Enigma Code captured by the Royal Navy. The perils of the Atlantic were only equalled by the convoys on the run to northern Russia. Sub-zero temperatures, pack ice and appalling weather conditions plus the menacing Luftwaffe and the German Navy based in Norway, made it one of the most hazardous actions of the entire war. Meanwhile, in the air, bomber planes of the RAF and U.S. air force were incessantly bombarding German industries and cities. Casualties on the ground were devastating and the life expectancy of the aircrew was alarmingly short.©2004 Max Arthur and the Imperial War Museum (P)2004 Random House Audiobooks 20th Century Air Forces Armed Forces Education Europe Great Britain Historiography Ireland Military Modern Naval Forces Wars & Conflicts World World War II War Submarine Royal Navy U-Boat US Air Force England Aviation

Interviews are at such a low volume they are inaudible. Too annoying to finish. More attention should be paid to the audio part of an audio book.

Title should be "Unintelligible Voices"
