Zapomniany szlak przez Atlantyku – U-Booty kontra neutralne statki

At the beginning of World War II, the Atlantic was still a place where attempts were made to enforce maritime law. German U-boats established a special route for neutral vessels – the so-called Philadelphia Route. It was intended to be a safe corridor for ships from Sweden, Ireland, Iceland, and Spain. But it quickly became clear that there was no place for neutrality in total war. Karl Dönitz's orders – "Don't save anyone. Only look after your own ship" – ended the era of chivalrous warfare at sea. - - - - - - - - - Do you like my shows? Why not buy me a coffee? ☕ :) https://buycoffee.to/okretypodwodnesw...
