Germany’s submarines posed a huge threat to allied ships in the Second World War. In fact, Winston Churchill later famously said that the Kriegsmarine's U-Boats were his biggest worry during the war - but surprisingly the deadliest submarine of all time actually operated some 20 years earlier at the height of the First World War!

SM U-35 amassed a victory tally which has never since been rivalled, sinking some 226 Allied and neutral ships. Today we'll look at the story of this infamous boat and just how it was so successful!
