Few commanders symbolize the evolution of the German U-boat arm
during the Second World War as does Adalbert "Adi" Schnee. In 1940,
Schnee successively commanded three Type II U-boats-U-6, U-60 and
U-121- in which he registered his first successes in the Atlantic.
From the beginning of 1941, he was appointed commander of U-201,
the first Type VIIC U-boat allotted to I Flotilla. During seven
patrols with this U-Boot, which would take him to the coasts of
America and Africa, he would receive the Knight's Cross with Oak
Leaves. With 15 ships sunk in convoys in the mid-Atlantic, he
became the specialist in this form of attack. Commanding U-2511 in
May 1945, he alone carried out an actual combat mission in the Type
XXI U-boat. With the aid of logbooks and the recent discovery of a
considerable collection of images from a war correspondent on one
of U-201's missions, this book examines Schnee's incredible combat
career.
