A very comprehensive illustrated book on the German U-Bootwaffe in World War 2. Original photos show not only the U-boats themselves, in action under all imaginable conditions, but also the shipyard and dock facilities and the armament - whether gun or torpedo. Rare original photographs also show unusual technical or operational details such as the snorkel with its radar-attenuating "waffle pattern" or the launcher rockets for underwater firing. The volume also deals with all German manned torpedoes and small submarines in service - and with several not in service. Contributions on development and (if still in use) deployment and, above all, detailed tables with technical data round off the information offered.
