Köhler, Stefan Im Fadenkreuz

It is the year 2001. The submarines of the German Armed Forces U-24 and U-28 are heading for the Caribbean to serve as a grateful target on the manoeuvre of a US carrier group. The planners of the exercise, however, have made their calculations without Captain Lieutenant Dellnitz, commander of U-24. Dellnitz does not see fit to follow a dull script and is determined to teach the arrogant US carrier group commander a lesson.

The author tells the true story of a German submarine commander who takes on an American carrier group. In the publication series "Einsatzbericht", alternating authors vividly portray the fate of German soldiers for whom there is all too often no place in public perception. From the armed forces of the German Empire to the Bundeswehr, from the Freikorps to the Wehrmacht, German soldiers have lived through all facets of war. EK-2 Verlag puts their fate in the spotlight. The series "Einsatzbericht" presents fictional texts about German soldiers, elaborated by different authors, embedded in the historical reality of the respective epoch.
