The Type 205/206 boats served in the German Navy for almost 40 years - longer than any other submarine before them - and were considered pioneering in submarine construction in their day. Hans Karr, himself a former submarine officer on a Type 206, describes the history, technology and operational history of this legendary class of ship in detail, after a brief outline of the submarine history of the German Navy. A further focus, which impresses with extraordinary photographic material, is dedicated to the spectacular transport of the U 17 by heavy transport on the road and pushed convoy on the Rhine and Neckar to its last berth, the Technik Museum Sinsheim Speyer.
