Given that the U-boat threat was the one thing that Churchill really feared, why do you think that the Allied Merchant Navy never got the credit it deserved for its role during the Second World War?

Our sailors, solidiers and airmen all rightly received credit for delivering our nations from the Axis powers. But why did this brave band of men and women get treated so badly.

I would be interested in your thoughts.

Regards
