This is the complete wartime translation by the U.S. Navy of the
1943 edition of the official handbook given to all U-boat
commanders. The original handbook was compiled from combat reports
and was regularly updated throughout the war. The handbook was an
invaluable reference for every operational U-boat commander. Simply
written and highly accessible for a wider audience, the U-boat
handbook attempted to anticipate every possible situation and to
advise on suitable tactics. This superb war-time primary source is
enhanced by a rare series of photographs taken on an actual combat
patrol and published during the time of the Third Reich in the book
"U-Boot Auf Feindfahrt." Together the handbook and these rare
photographs provide a fascinating glimpse into the world of the
U-boats from a first hand perspective, and is essential reading for
anyone interested in World War II from primary sources. This book
is part of the 'Hitler's War Machine' series, a new military
history range compiled and edited by Emmy Award winning author and
historian Bob Carruthers. The series draws on primary sources and
contemporary documents toprovide a new insight into the true nature
of Hitler's Wehrmacht. The series consultant is David Mcwhinnie
creator of the award winning PBS series 'Battlefield'.
