''Leuthen'' was the given to a wolfpack of German U-boats that operated during the World War II Battle of the Atlantic in 1943 from 15 September 1943 to 24 September 1943〔(【引用サイトリンク】title =Wolfpack Leuthen )〕 ==Service history== ''Leuthen'' was formed in September 1943 and was established to renew the attack on the North Atlantic route. Following the defeats of May 1943, and the devastating losses incurred by the U- boat Arm (''U-Bootwaffe'',UBW) then, Admiral Dönitz had withdrawn from attacks on the North Atlantic route while awaiting tactical and technical improvements. By September 1943 these were ready. ''Leuthen'' operated against convoys ONS 18 and ON 202, which were travelling together; U-boats from ''Leuthen'' sank 6 ships (of 36,442 GRT and 3 escorts in this battle, but lost 3 boats ( ''U-229'', ''U-338'', and ''U-341'') destroyed, and 3 forced to return with damage, in attacks by aircraft and surface vessels. ''Leuthen'' was disbanded after this assault, at the end of September; of the remaining 15 boats, 3 returned to base and 12 formed the core of a new patrol line, code-named ''Rossbach''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wolfpack Leuthen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
