This short column pertains to a speech given by Prime Minister Churchill on June 30, 1943:
"Churchill told how the Germans last May went all out to shatter convoys of food and materials from the United States to Britain. Long lines of U-boats were used, he said, and between fifteen and twenty concentrated in attack. The result was; total defeat' for the U-boats, and the Prime Minister revealed that more than 30 were 'certainly destroyed' in May."
"[In Germany] One naval expert, writing in the Propaganda Ministry's weekly, Das Reich, conceded that the U-boats were outmatched."
