ABOUT
The story of U-110 and the Enigma story.
For 15 years after the end of the war all official Admiralty records showed the German submarine U110 as sunk on 9 May 1941. As this book was the first to reveal, this was a deliberate deception, as the U-boat was actually captured and its contents fully investigated before being allowed to sink a day later, a fact skilfully kept from even the survivors of the submarines crew. The reason for the secrecy was that the U-boat gave up valuable codebooks, charts, ciphers and a complete and undamaged Enigma machine.
Illustrated with monochrome images, maps, diagrams.
Maps on end papers.
