This is the story of a forgotten campaign. The battle began in August 1943, when a German submarine arrived in the Malaysian harbour of Georgetown. In total, nearly fourty U-boats were assigned to penetrate the Indian Ocean. The joint action also gave U-boats the opportunity to penetrate the Pacific Ocean for the first time, attacking shipping off the Australian coast and hunting off New Zealand. Success in this theatre of war held a real chance to swing the tide of battle in North Africa in favour of Rommel. 288 pages, 32 pages of photos Price: £19.99 Quantity   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50  Add to cart  see details Kriegsmarine U-Boats The Essential Submarine ID Guide Chris Bishop Superb guide Illustrated with detailed artworks of more than 300 German submarines, Kriegsmarine U-Boats 1939–45 is a comprehensive guide to the submarine arm of the German navy in World War II.

Steel Boat, Iron Hearts is his no-holds-barred account of service aboard a combat U-boat. It is the only full-length memoir of its kind, and Goebeler was aboard for every one of U-505’s war patrols. Using his own experiences, log books, and correspondence with other U-boat crewmen, Goebeler offers rich and very personal details about what life was like in the German Navy under Hitler. Because his first and last posting was to U-505, Goebeler’s perspective of the crew, commanders, and war patrols paints a vivid and complete portrait unlike any other to come out of the Kriegsmarine. 258pp. 22 photos Price: £18.99 Quantity   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50  Add to cart  see details Teddy Suhren Ace of Aces, Memoirs of a U-Boat Rebel Translated by Frank James Teddy Suhren fired more successful torpedo shots than other man during the war, many before he even became a U-Boat commander, indeed he was the first junior officer to be awarded the Knight’s Cross for his achievements.
