  • September 8, 1760

    The Governor of New France, Vaudreuil, surrendered Montréal to General Amherst to complete the British conquest of New France.

  • September 8, 1760

    By the terms signed this day, the British guaranteed the people of New France immunity from deportation; the right to depart for France with all their possessions; continued enjoyment of property rights; and freedom of worship.

In 1941 Britain is locked in a life-or-death struggle against Hitler - its survival depends on convoys of ships carrying vital goods across the Atlantic. These are being devastated by German U-boat submarines - but slowly the convoys begin to fight back, using cutting-edge technologies that turn the U-boat hunters, into the hunted.
