About this Item

Hard cover dust wrapper, 192pp, b&w photos. A little wear on edges else very good. Tells the saga of a German front-line U-Boat, U-175, which, with her compatriots, very nearly severed Britain's lifeline across the Atlantic, and which culminated in a critical battle around Convoy HX-233 in the Spring of 1943. The author was a witness to the battle and has combined his own memories with research of original documents and his use of eye-witness accounts from both the Allied and German sides. Much more than a description of a single battle - also goes on to explain the strategic and tactical background, the technical developments on both sides, and the operational experiences that occurred thoughout the whole of the War.
