Description
|
|
|
|
Though much has already been written about the German submarine forces during World War II, this book focuses on the men who served in these strange and highly dangerous vessels, depicting their daily life in scores of rare archival photographs and color illustrations. Naval historian Jean Delize describes how the men were recruited and the arduous training they required (a regimen that began to collapse by 1941) as well as the principles, tactics, and camaraderie of the sub service. Delize also considers the drive and spirit that naval commander Karl Dönitz inspired in his sub crews, the direct relations he maintained with his U-Boat commanders, the very strong bond between the commanders and their men, and all the inconveniences of this claustrophobic life with its various superstitions, hygiene problems, pollution concerns, and rations. "A must have for readers interested in the Kreigsmarine or submarine service in WWII.... [The book] contains a wealth of informative text and pictorial material."—Military Trader
