Volume three (of a four-volume series) reveals the fate of the
ninety-two German U-boats that passed through Lorient from August
1942 to August 1943. From October 1942, Type IX U-boats left
Lorient for distant seas beyond the South African Cape and
succeeded in sinking three times as many ships as those that
attacked the North Atlantic convoys! This book also details the
terrible effects of the massive Allied bombardments on both the
base and town during the following months and discusses Allied
progress in anti-U-boat techniques and armaments that forced the
U-boats to abandon the North Atlantic at the end of May 1943 and
the Allied offensive seeking to destroy German U-boats in transit
in the Gulf of Gascony. This work is illustrated with over 600
exceptional war-era photographs as well as maps and plans. A unique
color section presents the remains, documents, and memories
relating to the presence of the U-boats in Lorient.
