'Attack and Sink' was the signal that Admiral Donitz sent to
the commanders of the 21 U-boats of the Markgraf wolf-pack on the
9th September 1941. Convoy SC42 consisted of sixty three merchant
ships, heavily laden with vital supplies for the United Kingdom.
It covered an area of 25 miles of inhospitable ocean after setting
sail from Nova Scotia. The escort of one destroyer and three
corvettes of the Royal Canadian Navy, all untried in combat, were
hopelessly outclassed when the battle of SC42 commenced. The
battle lasted for seven days and covered 1,200 miles of ocean.
