Serving on a U-boat was the deadliest job in World War II, with 30,000 of 40,000 German submariners never returning home—a 75% death rate that exceeded any other military branch. Germany built 1,162 U-boats, and the Allies destroyed 785 of them. Early in the war, U-boats sank nearly 2,800 Allied merchant ships (14 million tons), but the tide turned in May 1943 (Black May), when 41 U-boats were destroyed in 31 days—a quarter of the entire fleet. When Germany surrendered, 221 crews scuttled their boats, 154 surrendered, and two vanished, later surfacing in Argentina.

How many U-Boats were sunk in WW2? #shorts追加:
Serving on a yubot was the deadliest job in World War II. Period.
Germany built 1,162 Yubot.
The Allies destroyed 785 of them.
Early on, they dominated. Yubot sank nearly 2800 Allied merchant ships, 14 million tons. Then came May 1943, Black May.
In 31 days, the Allies killed 41 Yubot.
A quarter of the entire operating fleet gone in one month.
40,000 men served in the Yubot arm.
30,000 of them never came home. That's the highest death rate of any branch of any military in the war.
When Germany surrendered, 221 crews scuttled their own boats.
154 gave up. Two vanished and surfaced months later in Argentina.
Deadliest job in the war. And they kept volunteering until the last day.
