Summary:
Tells the dramatic story of the birth, life and death of the HMCS St Croix and the U305 and, through them, the larger story of the epic Battle of the Atlantic itself. These two vessels entered the war at about the same time; both scored victories over their respective foes; both became grizzled veterans of the Battle. And in the twilight of September 20, 1943, they confronted each other in the cold waters of the eastern Atlantic. Only one survived the encounter; neither survived the war.
