Destruction of Submarines Revealed By Senator Weeks
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts disclosed that the American navy has destroyed 28 U boats since January. Allies kept U boat losses secret to avoid undermining morale and to mislead the German admiralty about submarine fates. Some argue revealing losses pressures German crews, while others fear it aids enemy recruitment and support for submarine warfare.
