- The Battle of the Atlantic was Canada’s longest campaign of the Second World War from September 3, 1939 to May 8, 1945. Legion Magazine and Canada’s Ultimate Story present Military Moments | Battle of the Atlantic. Narrated by Canadian musician and artist Alan Doyle of Great Big Sea, the video takes us back hours after Britain declared war on Germany on Sept. 3, 1939, when the German submarine U-30 sank the ocean liner SS Athenia.
The Battle of the Atlantic raged for 68 months. Germany’s objective was to starve Britain into submission by cutting shipping supply lines. The Allies responded with escorted oceanic convoys and the Royal Canadian Navy played a critical role, protecting convoys from the Caribbean to the United Kingdom. By 1944, Canada had proven itself as one of the world’s best U-boat hunters.

THANK You for making HISTORY IMMORTAL & Those Who Made HISTORY!!
My dad served on the HMCS Dunver. She lead the largest convoy in the Atlantic, to this day no one has ever seen a convoy that large. My dad would have a sparkle in his eye when he talked about the ship. He also cried when he told some horrific stories about some of the battles. The HMCS Dunver is now sitting on the bottom of the ocean near Victoria BC as an artificial reef.
To my dad, who bravely fought in the war to keep us safe and free.
R.I.P. Frank John William Frances Dion. I love and miss you so much!
may his soul rest in peace
Nice tribute to your dad 💪🏻
He was one of Stalin's useful idiots. He helped to make Europe Communist and Islamic.
My late father served on the convoy escort destroyer HMS Vidette in the North Atlantic in 1943 and referred to the bravery of ' the wheatfiled sailors ' from all the Provinces of our staunch ally Canada.. Canada and Canadians contributed hugely to the successes against the wolfpacks and Britain and the world owes them a debt of gratitude. Long live the special relationship built out of the shared and harrowing experiences of the Battle of the Atlantic.Thank you Canada and all Canadians.
Thank you Joe.
Canada betrayed the UK in 1956.
My dad was in the Battle of the Atlantic. Was on the HMCS Cheboque when it was torpedoed in 1944, caught a nice piece of shrapnel in the side. He was 18 years old, he lied about his age and was seeing action at 17 after going in at 16. Different breed of men back then.
You father was true man of honor. God bless him and you family.
Yes, bless him.
My Great-Uncle participated in the Battle of the Atlantic - served on the HMCS Battleford and HMCS Arvida
Wowww 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you for bringing history to life in this sensitive and enlightening video. My grandmother was a nurse escorting wounded from Europe.This video has helped our family to understand some of her experiences in WW2.
The only winners of Wars are the ELITES.
Amazing RIP Brave lads
I did not think a video this short, about the Battle of the Atlantic would be worth watching. It is. Thank You!
I never served, except as a RCSC, but I joined the Legion anyway. It just seemed like the right thing to do to support my beloved Canadian veterans.
R.I.P to the sailors of the Canadian Navy who fought and died from 1939-1945 in the Battle of the Atlantic 🇨🇦
I have a histore presentation tomorrow thank you so much
My Dad was a Merchant Marine, he lived to tell the tale
Well done!
Keep up the great work!
My Great Uncle served on HMS Fidelity and sadly lost his life at Sea On 31st December 1942 during the Battle of the Atlantic.
My dad was aboard HMS Nabob.
so cool :)
We are glad that you like it.
It's beautiful that they're playing the hymn, "Nearer my God to Thee" in the latter half of this video. Oh that Canada would turn fully and wholeheartedly to Jesus!
Give it a rest dude. Your sky fairy is slowly entering the realm of disbelief by an ever-growing number of Canadians.
Go away stop being a disrespectful idiot
Thanks
I was in Mr. Houchens socials 10 class at Semiahmoo secondary during the covid-19 pandemic, like if you went to semi
Big up 9a2 gang
Paddy Watson ayee
why the intro music so good though
Can this be shared on a churches Facebook site
Not bad. A few mispronouncements such as Esquimalt and 'Merchant Marines' vice mariners. Still an important topic.
Who knew you could bring together 5.5 years of WWII submarine warfare in just 5:29! Oh, wait, no, yeah, you can't. Huh. Fancy that.
?
DARN SEA CADETS!
Canada should have remained neutral, like Ireland.

I would have assumed that making such a big deal about the Narrator would prove he is great. Instead we get some dude reading a script badly. Progressives are doing to youtube what they did to the Movies and TV.
bro your looking a little too deeply into this; the fact that your willingly watching this video already says something about you. Don't start openly complaining about the narrator now
