I'm sorry. The idea 786 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,440 of Operation Buttercup is to force the 787 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,400 Ubot, the Herses, to dive. It's the 788 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,599 easiest way to finish off a submarine is 789 00:43:57,599 --> 00:43:59,440 underwater with depth charges. We 790 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,280 illuminate the sky so that we can see 791 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,359 them if they surface and try to slip 792 00:44:03,359 --> 00:44:05,200 away under cover of darkness. 793 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,240 >> I see. 794 00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:10,160 I'd like you to write up this buttercup 795 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,480 maneuver in full so that I can issue it 796 00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,400 as part of our escort group operational 797 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,480 instructions. 798 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,359 Well done, Walker. 799 00:44:19,359 --> 00:44:22,680 Thank you, sir. 800 00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:27,280 Walker, superb commander, arguably the 801 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,200 best ace of the war, but at the same 802 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,160 time, he hadn't discovered the way the 803 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,960 Germans were operating. That took other 804 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:39,000 minds in another place. 805 00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:45,480 >> Hang on. 806 00:44:45,839 --> 00:44:49,079 Hang on. 807 00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,520 >> Commander Roberts. 808 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:58,520 >> Yes. I was told to expect you. 809 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,960 Serious doubts have been raised on high 810 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,040 about Buttercup. 811 00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,000 Senior British admirals suspect it is 812 00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:14,040 another false dawn. 813 00:45:17,839 --> 00:45:19,760 >> The Royal Navy has to find a fresh 814 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,240 approach to Donuts' tactics in the 815 00:45:22,240 --> 00:45:24,079 Battle of the Atlantic. And they find 816 00:45:24,079 --> 00:45:26,560 Gilbert Roberts in an unusual place 817 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,480 training the Home Guard, retired, a 818 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:32,000 survivor of tuberculosis. 819 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,400 May I ask where you're taking me? 820 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:38,160 >> London, sir. The admiral's here. 821 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:39,920 >> Can I ask why? 822 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,119 >> No. Borders. 823 00:45:43,119 --> 00:45:45,440 >> Mystery tour. 824 00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,760 What fun. 825 00:45:53,599 --> 00:45:56,079 Roberts is whisked up to London for a 826 00:45:56,079 --> 00:45:58,560 meeting with Ceil Osborne. Now, Ceil 827 00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,880 Osborne is an aid to the Prime Minister 828 00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:04,520 Winston Churchill. 829 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,440 >> Commander Roberts, thank you for coming 830 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,359 at such short notice. It was an 831 00:46:17,359 --> 00:46:19,599 invitation I couldn't receive, sir. 832 00:46:19,599 --> 00:46:23,839 >> Yes. Good. Straight to the point. It's 833 00:46:23,839 --> 00:46:25,599 clear that something needs to be done in 834 00:46:25,599 --> 00:46:27,440 the Battle of the Atlantic or we will 835 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,800 lose the war. Simple as that. The prime 836 00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,839 minister is most worried. Merchant ships 837 00:46:33,839 --> 00:46:36,000 are being sunk at far faster rate than 838 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,319 we are able to replace them. That's 839 00:46:38,319 --> 00:46:40,560 where you come in. I hear you've 840 00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,280 developed some interesting ideas about 841 00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,040 wargaming. 842 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,839 I have, sir. Become something of a 843 00:46:47,839 --> 00:46:50,560 preoccupation. 844 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,280 Good. We need to do something about the 845 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,079 Ubot. A fortnight ago, we had a 846 00:46:56,079 --> 00:46:58,960 breakthrough. Captain Johnny Walker was 847 00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,839 escorting a fleet out of Gibralar. Faced 848 00:47:01,839 --> 00:47:04,160 with a full-on yubot attack, he managed 849 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,920 to sink two. In all, we sank five. 850 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,960 Walker, somewhat flush with his success, 851 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,200 called the whole thing Buttercup. 852 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:14,960 Buttercup. 853 00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:18,800 It's what he calls his wife, I believe. 854 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:20,400 That's all well and good, but with my 855 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:24,160 tactical hat on, I rather wonder whether 856 00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,040 Walker's success was not down to Lady 857 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,480 Luck. Lucky butter. 858 00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,119 One more small thing before you go to 859 00:47:33,119 --> 00:47:37,079 Liverpool. Liverpool. 860 00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:44,599 Ah, yes, sir. We are ready. 861 00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,000 find out what's happening 862 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,960 and sink the Ubot. 863 00:47:54,960 --> 00:48:01,240 >> Um, well, yes, of course. 864 00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,599 Time is not on your side, Roberts. You 865 00:48:09,599 --> 00:48:12,960 must uncover the Ubot's dirty tricks by 866 00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,520 recruiting and training a war gaming 867 00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:18,800 team. Got it? 868 00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:22,040 Yes, sir. 869 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,520 School to play games. And I'll need men 870 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,160 to staff the unit, too. All my best men 871 00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,079 are at sea. 872 00:48:40,079 --> 00:48:44,359 >> I hear you're in need of staff, 873 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:47,040 >> sir. 874 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:48,800 >> The rails. 875 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:50,880 Ladies, if we lose the Battle of the 876 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:55,079 Atlantic, we lose the war. 877 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:59,000 >> Say the border set. 878 00:49:01,599 --> 00:49:03,119 >> Buttercup 879 00:49:03,119 --> 00:49:06,079 works. 880 00:49:06,079 --> 00:49:08,400 The Royal Navy are relying on luck to 881 00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:09,599 protect the convoys. 882 00:49:09,599 --> 00:49:11,920 >> We need to analyze yubot attacks and 883 00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:16,440 find a tactic to destroy them.57474
