Description
The Grey Wolves of Eriboll by David M. Hird is a detailed account of the surrender of Germany's U-boat fleet at the end of World War II, marking the arrival of peace for the British people. This revised edition explores the careers of 33 commanders who accompanied their boats to Loch Eriboll, as well as 23 previous commanders, including four 'Aces' who inflicted significant damage on Allied shipping. The book also delves into the Allied naval operation that assembled the surrendering U-boats in Scotland and Northern Ireland, shedding light on key events such as the first contact with the U-boats after capitulation. The book features a wealth of historical insights, including unpublished recollections from British and German naval personnel present at the surrenders, and details on the distribution of spared U-boats to various navies.
