ABOUT
A unique story of life aboard the German U Boats between 1940 and 1946, this is probably the only first hand account ever to appear in print.
NCO radio operator Wolfgang Hirschfeld risked his life by keeping a diary of his U-boat career - an occupation punishable by court martial and death. This memoir recounts the events covered in those diaries, form his assignment to a rust bucket at the outbreak of war to the final surrender en-route to Japan in 1945.
Includes monochrome images and drawings, maps on end papers.
