How many wolf packs were on a German U-boat?
None. The term “Wolf Pack” referred to a group of U-boats that would operate together to attack a convoy. When a U-boat spotted a convoy it would radio the vital information to U-boat command (BdU) who would then order other boats to the area. The original U-boat would usually stalk the convoy until the other boats arrived and they could attack in larger numbers. The phrase refers to how wolves hunt in packs to kill their prey.
