SynopsisThe former German U-boat commander Herbert Werner navigates readers through the waters of World War II, recounting four years of the most significant and savage battles. By war's end, 28,000 out of 39,000 German sailors had disappeared beneath the waves., The Battle of the Atlantic was one of the most savage and strategically significant campaigns of World War II: 28,000 out of 39,000 men in the German U-boat force disappeared beneath the waves. Herbert A. Werner, one of the few surviving German U-boat commanders, served on five submarines from 1941 to 1945. From the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, from the English Channel to the North Sea, he takes the reader with him through the triumphant years of 1941 and 1942, when German U-boats nearly strangled England, to the apocalyptic final years of destruction, disillusionment, and defeat.

Action and adventure in the framework of war.
Well paced account of the hunting and sinking of allied shipping by U-boats which ultimately illustrates the futile and horrific aspects of war. Werner and his shipmates had a job to do, whether they wanted to or not, and they lived with it, did the job and paid the price. Good read.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
