How did Germany respond to the British naval blockade in 1939?
The Germans used U-Boats to sink the merchant ships that were carrying supplies to Britain. German U-Boats were also used to target and sink naval vessels. On the day that Britain declared war on Germany, German U-boats sunk the British merchant ship the Athenia as it sailed from Liverpool to Montreal.
What were uboats made for?
Uboats were made to attack and sink merchant ships carrying supplies to Great Britain. Germany knew if they managed to cut Britain's supplies off then they would be unable to continue the war. They did this by launching torpedos which blew holes in enemy ships under the waterline, causing them to take on water and sink. As the war progressed, more and more were built to combat military ships as well as merchant vessels. Hope this helps.
