"U-boats were able to reduce the total shipping available to the Allies in only one of the five years of the war, 1942"
The war lasted from the invasion of Poland in 1939 to the surrender of Germany and Japan in 1945.
1939 1940 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945
Surely, the war lasted 7 years?
- Good point. However, as far as I am aware, the Second World War is generally considered to last for six years. Yes, it took place within seven different years, but 1939-45 is six years.
I'll change it. EDIT: Oh. Someone already did. WikiReaderer 13:16, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
