Infos

"e;A fascinating and detailed account of the German navy's war, mostly covering U-boat activities"e; by the man who succeeded Hitler as Fuhrer (Damien Burke, author of TSR2: Britain's Lost Bomber). This is the story of the last world war, as told by Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz himself. His memoir covers his early career with submarines in the First World War and follows both his successes and failures through the Second World War, with great detail on the way the U-boat campaign was waged, as told by the man who invented U-boat tactics. Doenitz includes details of the U-boat campaigns during the Second World War as well as the opinions, ideas and commentary on the period. Of particular interest are the comments regarding British and American conduct during the war. This is an important social document and an invaluable source for any student of the last war. After becoming the last Fuhrer of Germany after Hitler's suicide in May 1945, Karl Doenitz spent ten years and twenty days in Spandau Prison having been convicted of war crimes following a trial at Nuremberg. "e;A very interesting book looking at the war in the Atlantic from the German side . . . one of the best accounts of the Battle of the Atlantic."e; UK Historian
