It was interesting to see the different strategies evolve. The wolf pack of U-boats would have been impossible to counter without good strategies. The women at WATU (Western Approaches Tactical Unit) used their analytical skills to simulate U-Boat movements and develop effective anti-submarine tactics.
However, while the expertise and efforts of war gamers and experienced naval staff were vital components of the Allied effort against the U-boats, the decryption of Enigma messages provided the intelligence necessary to effectively counter the U-boat threat and ultimately contributed significantly to the Allies' success in the Battle of the Atlantic.
Given the importance of decrypted Enigma information in the Battle of the Atlantic, it's likely that a series like "U-boat Wargamers" should account for the role of Bletchley Park in providing intelligence to Allied forces. The decrypted Enigma messages provided crucial insights into German U-boat movements, tactics, and plans, enabling Allied naval forces to better anticipate and counter the U-boat threat.
Although U-Boat Wargamers doesn't delve into Bletchley Park specifically, it underscores the importance of intelligence and strategic thinking in countering U-Boat attacks. The WRENS, alongside their colleagues, contributed to the development of tactics that outwitted U-Boat wolfpacks.
