DKM U-Boat Type VIIC U-552 06801
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 the Battle
of the Atlantic, 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 struck US Navy & merchant shipping in a phase of WW2 known as the “Second Happy Time” in the Atlantic off the east coast of North America, causing heavy losses.
Type VIIC was the most numerous submarine in service when Allied efforts finally defeated the U-boat campaign in late 1943/early 1944.
