زیردریایی‌های جنگی - زیردریایی‌های آلمانی در عمل ۱۹۳۹-۱۹۴۵

These are the German estimates of Allied and Neutral ships destroyed by German U-Boats: 1942 - 1027 ships; 1945 - 54 ships. Behind these figures lies one of the most fascinating and exciting stories to come out of World War II. It begins with the black nights in '39 and '40 when submarine wolf packs ripped the Allied convoys - and one ship in three might get through to England. Here is the story of Prien, who penetrated the main anchorage of the British Fleet and sank the battleship "Royal Oak" at Scapa Flow ... of young Mohr, who sank 44,000 tons of shipping in one night on his first patrol ... of Topp and Schnee and Hessel and the other commanders who made 1942 "the American Shooting Season." Harald Busch was a German officer who served with the submarines. U-BOATS AT WAR tells you more than you can learn from any other book about how the enemy lived and fought in one of the most dangerous branches of the service ... And how the Allies, by courage and scientific skill, broke the back of the wolf packs and smashed the German bid for victory at sea. [text from back cover of book]
