U-boats (Unterseeboot)
German U-Boats are submarines. In World War 2, the Germans used these submarines to attack in groups of three or more. The Germans called these groups of submarines "wolfpacks". The Americans, British & Canadians also used the name "wolfpack" to refer to a group of German U-Boats.
A German submarine used in WW I was called a U-boat.
There were no surface ships in a U-boat wolf pack. (The submarines, like American subs, were called, "Boats".) The smallest wolf packs were 2 to 4 submarines, while the largest wolf packs could contain up to 20 submarines. The size of the wolf packs always depended on what their commander, Karl Doenitz wanted them to do.
