ZELD2760 - Naval War in the Atlantic: 1939-1945 w/ Walter S. Topp (Spring - West)

Course Description

When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, the U.S. Navy had already been fighting an undeclared war in the Atlantic Ocean for two years. From the desperate fight against German U-boats through the great amphibious landings at North Africa, Sicily and Normandy, the U.S. Navy joined with U.S. Army forces and allied nations to conduct an unrelenting naval campaign that was critical to the final victory over Nazi Germany. This course will trace the Navy’s strategy and operations, share the experiences of the American sailors who fought the Atlantic War and explain why the Navy’s success in the Atlantic has been the model for U.S. military operations since 1945.
