I'd agree that 'they' influenced the battle of the
Atlantic, but save perhaps from the perspective of
the UK, didn't 'change the course of WWII.' Although I guess it'll be postulated that the East
Front and the Pacific were mere sideshows. I've admiration for the young people who served in
that unit and for the VAST improvements made in
the fight against the U-boat menace – but… Oh, and I did watch the link several times… |

Thank goodness for close caption! I wonder why they kept the school going two months after Germany's surrender? |

Perhaps they wanted to make sure that there was no seamless transition into WW3. With control over Europe at the stake between Stalin and the Western Allies… giving up eg Poland cannot have come easy, and who knows how Churchill would have acted if he had remained in power. |
