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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIllustrated with monochrome images, maps, diagrams.\u003cbr\u003eMaps on end papers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr\u003eExcellent condition with wear\/repairs on dust jacket, light foxing inside end papers, owners name inside, binding tight, pages otherwise generally clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eREMARKS\u003cbr\u003eScarce in hardcover\u003cbr\u003eSee our many other listings on submarines\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unicorn Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55450588315940,"sku":null,"price":39.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/1901\/6740\/files\/imagescomingsoon.jpg?v=1787169984","url":"https:\/\/unicornbooks.co.nz\/products\/the-secret-capture-by-captain-s-w-roskill","provider":"Unicorn Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
