German Sub Campaign Expected Amid Naval Build Up
A Danish naval expert visiting Kiel predicts Germany will renew submarine warfare against British shipping late in fall if the central powers fail to force England to ease the blockade. He notes 25 subs lost but 80 built in 21 months, with about 110 U boats in commission and a fleet nearing 200 by autumn, capable of a fresh blockade. He says the prospect of U.S. conflict won’t deter Germany from using its subs if convinced America backs England’s foes.
