U-boat stands for underwater boat. They were essentially the first submarine. No other countries had these which made them very dangerous. Also sonar wasn't very developed so they couldn't detect them. The U-boats also had torpedoes to sink enemy vessels. Also, enemy vessels didn't really have any weapons tocounter the U-boat. Hope this answers your question!

The German U-boats were dangerous during World War II because they were highly effective in terms of stealth and mobility. They operated in wolf packs, attacking merchant ships with torpedoes and sinking them, which disrupted Allied supply lines. Additionally, U-boats could dive to great depths, making it difficult for Allied forces to detect and counterattack them effectively.
