Type VIIC U-boat (Unterseeboot) of the German Navy submarine fleet. 568 craft were launched between 1940 and 1945, starting with U-69. Type VIIC was in operational service early in WW2 near the end of theBattleof theAtlantic, the so-called "First Happy Time" when U-boats inflicted heavy losses against British Royal Navy and allied shipping.
Between January and August 1942, German U-boats struckUSNavy & merchant shipping in a phase of WW2 known as the “Second Happy Time” in the Atlantic off the east coast ofNorth America, causing heavy losses.
