Description

The capture of U-505 on June 4, 1944, was a pivotal moment in World War II. This top-secret seizure provided the Allies with invaluable insights into German technology and innovation. Today, visitors to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago can see the well-preserved hull of this massive Type IX submarine. Hunt and Kill offers a comprehensive study of U-505, covering its construction, crew and commanders, combat history, and the events that led to its capture. The book also examines the German mistakes that doomed the boat and provides an assessment of Type IX operations. A team of experienced U-boat historians contribute to this volume, bringing their expertise to bear on the subject. With its unique blend of historical research and in-depth analysis, Hunt and Kill is a valuable resource for anyone interested in World War II history or naval warfare.
