Battle of the Atlantic - Convoy HG76 Fights Through
🕑 Added 2026-01-29 23:55:19 +0000 UTCConvoy HG76 set sail from Gibraltar in December 1941 expecting a routine passage. Instead, it became a landmark clash in the Battle of the Atlantic. Hunted by U-boats and long-range bombers, the convoy faced relentless attacks in heavy seas. Escort Group Commander Frederick “Johnny” Walker led with aggressive, innovative anti-submarine tactics, backed by improved radar, Hedgehog mortars, and long-range air cover. Across five brutal days the escorts struck back—ramming, depth-charging, and destroying multiple U-boats. When HG76 finally reached British waters, it had done more than survive: it proved the Allies could seize the initiative in the Atlantic.

Hi about the ww2 in the future will you make a video about the battle of scheldt or the falaise pocket please?

And all of this in December in the North Atlantic! The career of Johnny Walker is worthy of its own episode. These animations are the only way to understand what happened.

As much as I always liked these videos, I can't play them on YouTube and I can't cast them to my TV so I end up not watching them anymore
