German E-Boats Ruled the English Channel, Until Britain's Motor Gun Boats Outgunned Them

German E-Boats dominated the English Channel from 1940-1942, sinking over 120 merchant vessels and terrorizing British coastal convoys with near impunity. These fast, deadly Schnellboots seemed unstoppable—until Britain developed the Motor Gun Boat (MGB).

Discover how Lieutenant Commander Robert Hichens and his heavily armed MGBs turned the tables on Germany's most successful coastal raiders, equipped with revolutionary power-operated gun turrets, radar, and devastating firepower that shocked German crews who had ruled these waters for years.
From the disastrous early encounters of 1940 to the D-Day operations of 1944, witness the evolution of naval warfare in the narrow waters that decided Britain's fate. Learn about the engineering innovations, tactical developments, and courage of crews on both sides who fought in one of WW2's most deadly yet overlooked campaigns.
