The Battle of the Atlantic was the longest and arguably the most decisive campaign of the Second World War and ran throughout the entire six-year conflict.
One of the most important factors of the Battle of the Atlantic was logistics and, more pertinently, the ability of Britain to maintain vital supply routes through its North Atlantic shipping routes.
This year will mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic and Liverpool will be hosting a series of events to commemorate the commitment and resilience of the brave men and women who ensured Britain and its allies overcame the malignant threat of Nazi Germany.
