(More customer reviews)For the naval enthusiast, this belongs on your bookshelf. Bekker incorporates many archival photos and knowledge of tactics used in various phases of the naval war conducted above and below the seas, including the problems of battleship technology, development of the U-Boat Waffe. Chapters on artic warfare, the Mediterranean operations, U-Boats in distant oceans, and torpedo boats in the Dover Straits are especially interesting.
The book loses little in translation from German, and Bekker is an acknowledged expert. Published before the pivotal film Das Boot, it would be a great companion to serious study of that film and subsequent U-Boat films, as well as the works of Guenther-Buchheim.
There is little doubt that Naval personnel of both sides in this war were men of the greatest courage and devotion to their comrades. Recommended.
