Synopsis
Twenty-two U-boat veterans tell their chilling stories in this collection of their combat experiences in World War II, recorded by the author during several years of travel throughout Germany. It is one of very few books to examine the lives of the enlisted crew in the infamous submarines. Melanie Wiggins interviewed seventeen men and five of their commanders to take readers into the terrifying world of underwater warfare where every man helped determine the fate of his boat. While tracking down the U-boat veterans, Wiggins came across photographs and secret diaries and gained access to personnel records. A reunion of the U-682 crew and interviews with Admiral Otto Kretschmer two months before his death and the ninety-four-year-old Commander J rgen Wattenberg netted a wealth of information. Among the individual sagas included are Radioman Hans B rck's description of his 1942 patrol to Aruba and Herman Wien's description of U-180 transporting an Indian anarchist to Madagascar., Twenty-two U-boat veterans tell their chilling stories in this collection of their combat experiences in World War II, recorded by the author during several years of travel throughout Germany.

    Ordered 6 Kagero Publishing books from him. For some reason the US Post Offal lost them! NOT the sellers fault! He even started a trace before I could. When they finally arrived I found them to be extremely well packed with absolutely no damage even though they went around the system! I will be buying from him again. All of them were as advertised, and I am VERY happy with them. His communication was superb.

    Thank you for the positive feedback. That was a stressful USPS tracking ordeal! I think the package went through two weather delays! I am super happy they arrived safely.
