Description
Herbert Werner's memoir is a harrowing account of his time as a U-boat commander during World War II. Against all odds, he survived to tell the tale of the Atlantic convoys and the horrors that befell him and his crew. Werner's story is one of skill, daring, and incredible luck, but also of the ever-improving Allied detection and attack techniques that eventually turned the tables on the U-boat commanders. The result was a devastating loss of life, with 779 out of 842 U-boats sunk, claiming the lives of 28,000 men. This graphic account is dedicated to the seamen who lost their lives in the Battle of the Atlantic, and provides a chilling glimpse into the fearful havoc wrought by one small U-boat on the high seas.
