27. Why did the Germany planned to start the Atlantic War?

28. As an island nation, the United Kingdom was highly dependent on imported goods. Britain required more than a million tons of imported material per week in order to be able to survive and fight. Such an enormous amount of material was transferred to Britain by merchant ships, from America and some other countries. These merchant ships were proceeding in convoys to resist any atack by German Uboats.

29. The convoys of merchant ships, coming mainly from North America and the SouthAtlantic and going to the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, were protected for the most part by the British and Canadian navies and air forces

30. A convoy of Allied Forces

31. The Germans realised this: ‘Britain’s ability to maintain her supply lines is the decisive factor for the outcome of the war’ Admiral Raeder, Chief of German Naval Staff Hence Germany decided to attack convoys.

38. 'The Happy Time' (June 1940 – February 1941) This was very successful time for Germany as : They occupied Norway in April 1940, They conquered France in June Italy entered into the war as a strong ally of Germany

39. The acquisition of France was very beneficial for Germany in their Atlantic war as they could use easily approachable French dockyards. This also enabled them to easily extend operations to central and western Atlantic

40. From August 1940, a flotilla of 27 Italian submarines started operation to attack Allied shipping in the Atlantic These Italian submarines that operated in the Atlantic sank 109 ships of 593,864 tons

41. Field of battle widens (June 1941 – December 1941) Canada and USA grew their activity in Atlantic ocean The Canadian Royal Navy took the responsibility of the safe passage of convoys on western part of Atlantic

42. By 1941 the United States was taking an increasing part in the war, despite its nominal neutrality In April US extended the Pan-American Security Zone east almost as far as Iceland With the support of Canadian and US navy, Britain became successful to built a stronger escort for the convoys

70. The Battle of the Denmark Strait was a Second World War naval battle between ships of the Royal Navy and the German Kriegsmarine, fought on 24 May 1941. The British battleship HMS Prince of Wales and the battle cruiser HMS Hood fought the German battleship Bismarck and the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, both of which were attempting to break out into the North Atlantic to destroy Allied merchant shipping.

71. On 18 May 1941, the battleship Bismarck was ready, for her first voyage against enemy shipping, "Operation Rheinübung". She was accompanied by Prinz Eugen, a new heavy cruiser also on her maiden mission. Großadmiral Günther Lütjens, the German fleet commander, intended to break out into the Atlantic through the Denmark Strait between Greenland and Iceland and attack Allied convoy traffic in the North Atlantic.

72. Denmark Strait

73. Earlier raids by German capital ships such as the battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau had done enough damage to cause the British to use some of their older battleships such as the Revenge class as convoy escorts. Although old and slow, these ships were well armed with 15 in (380 mm) guns, more powerful than the guns of the German heavy cruisers and pocket battleships. Bismarck and Prinz Eugen, though, could risk attacking a convoy escorted by one of these battleships.

74. Bismarck could engage and attempt to destroy the escorting battleship, leaving the lighter Prinz Eugen to chase down and sink the fleeing merchant ships. The next morning the German ships were intercepted in the Strait between Iceland and Greenland by a force of British ships. These were the battleship Prince of Wales, the battlecruiser HMS Hood and a screen of six destroyers, under the command of Vice-Admiral Lancelot Holland on Hood.
