Издание на английском языке
The book tells about convoy HG-76, which became an important event in the fight against Nazi submarines during World War II. She describes how Britain, dependent on maritime supplies, has faced increasing losses from U-bot attacks. Convoy HG-76 stood out due to the powerful security under the command of Commander Johnny Walker, who applied new anti-submarine tactics. The Audacity aircraft carrier also participated in the convoy, which allowed aircraft to be used for protection. The success of the HG-76 was a turning point in the Battle of the Atlantic, showing that U-bots can be defeated. The book highlights the importance of the personal stories of the convoy members and their contribution to the overall victory.
