Description & Specifications

An examination of the 'Small Craft Warfare' between Germans and British in the English Channel. During World War II, German E-Boats were highly active in the English Channel, making this narrow strip of water known as the 'E-Boat Alley'. To counter the threat posed by these E-Boats, Britain used its coastal forces—including small Motor Torpedo Boats (MTBs and MGBs) and Motor Lighters (MLs). As the Germans sought to maintain their dominance in the Channel waters, they continued to develop their E-Boat designs to accommodate more armor and additional armaments. Instead of directly confronting the newer E-Boats in terms of armament, the British developed various types to fulfill the different roles that the Kriegsmarine aimed to assign to the E-Boat. Illustrated with high-quality photographs and artistic battle depictions, this book describes this developing conflict, examining the evolution of the vessels involved and covering their battles from the engagements on the Thames River to preparations for D-Day.
