German underwater boats, or U-boats, were primarily used during World War I and World War II for naval warfare, specifically to disrupt enemy shipping and trade routes. They targeted merchant vessels and military ships, aiming to sink them with torpedoes and mines. U-boats played a crucial role in Germany's strategy of unrestricted submarine warfare, which sought to weaken Allied forces by cutting off supplies. Their use significantly impacted naval tactics and the course of both wars.
