Paperback. Condition: Good. Whilst there have been many memoirs written by U-boat commanders of the Second World War, a book such as this, based upon the diaries of senior Petty Officer telegraphist, written in 'real time' is something very special. Wolfgang Hirschfeld, whose diaries Geoffrey Brooks has translated is a born story teller.The principal characters describe his experiences during six wars patrols in U-109, in which he served as the senior telegraphist. His is a tale which covers the whole kaleidoscope of emotions shared by men at war - a story of immense courage and fortitude, of remarkable comradeship born of the dangers, frustrations and privations shared and of transitory moments of triumph.Throughout runs a vein of humor, without which resistance to stress would have been virtually impossible. We get to know one of Germany's great U-boat aces, 'Ajax' Bleichrodt, holder of the Knights Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, and in a special biographical appendix. learn how he finally cracked under the strain.

The possible significance of that uranium has been deeply researched by Geoffrey Brooks and is discussed in a second appendix.…

Condition: New. Paperback. 224 pages.Published Price £14.99 Geoffrey Brooks's Hitler's Terror Weapons: From V1 to Vimana examines Nazi Germany's pursuit of advanced and unconventional weapons during the Second World War, ranging from proven technology to highly speculative projects. Beginning with the V-1 flying bomb and V-2 ballistic missile, Brooks traces the development and operational employment of the Vergeltungswaffen before turning to Germany's nuclear research and its attempts to exploit new technologies.The book considers the influence of Nazi ideology upon scientific research, the work of Werner Heisenberg, experiments with uranium and reactor moderators, and the continuing debate surrounding German efforts to develop an atomic weapon. Brooks also investigates alleged nuclear tests and proposed long-range delivery systems as Germany sought increasingly ambitious means of reversing its deteriorating military position.The narrative finally ventures into the controversial territory of supposed Wunderwaffen, including the so-called Vimana. Combining established technological history with disputed and speculative theories, the book offers an intriguing examination of Germany's wartime weapons programmes. Book.…
