Description

The U-Boat War in 100 Objects, 1939-1945 by Gordon Williamson explores one of the most fascinating and feared aspects of World War II: the German U-boat service. Using a carefully selected range of images and memorabilia from private collections, this book delves into the world of the U-boats, examining their major types, uniforms, insignias, equipment, technology, and conditions. From the cramped cooking facilities to the crude toilet facilities, the daily lives of U-boat crews are revealed in unprecedented detail. The book also examines the enemy that they faced: ship-borne and airborne anti-submarine weaponry used against the U-boats. With 100 iconic objects on display, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in military history, particularly those fascinated by World War II's naval campaigns. 224 pages, hardcover.
