Product Description

Synopsis
Formed in 1935, 1st U-Boat Flotilla operated against Hitler's enemies from the very earliest stage of the War through to September 1944 when disbanded amid the flames of Brest (its operating base) during the US siege. Many of the top German naval figures feature in this authoritative history including Karl Donitz, Otto Kretschemmer, Joachim Schepke and Erich Topp. The Flotilla took part in most major operations; the invasions of Norway, Belgium and France and the all-important Battle of the Atlantic. Over 75% of operational U-Boats were lost as the Allies' counter-measures and code-breaking successes took ever greater effect. This fascinating work records the Flotilla's successes and disasters in detail.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must" for your collection, 6 Feb 2002

By A Customer

The amount of information packed into this book is remarkable. However, the real beauty is that all the facts and figures are cleverly written in a flowing and "can't put this book down" format.
I gained a real insight into the trials and tribulations that all submariners, but especially the crewmen of the first U-boat flotilla, must have gone through. The research that must have been done to create such a book is most impressive - a credit to the author. I would definitely recommend it to anyone with an interest in WW2 Kriegsmarine - both to serious historians and the hobby reader.
