This talk by Dr Scott Lindgren explores the background to the U-boat strategy and campaigns of the First World War and the strategy and tactics employed in an attempt to counter these.
Dr Lingren is a naval/maritime historian. He has a Masters in Maritime History from Hull and he took his PhD at Salford. He spent a decade teaching naval, maritime and local history at Hull, before freelancing as a naval and maritime historian/researcher and lecturer.

Anyone new to our group is guaranteed a friendly atmosphere, and a warm welcome over a cuppa. Parking is free, but we ask visitors for a small donation of £4 to cover room hire and speakers’ expenses.
