  During World War II, the great majority of sunken Allied vessels were sent to the bottom of the sea by a relatively small number of German submarines. This fascinating study of Nazi U-boats examines the training of German submariners, and their daily life at sea and in port. Also discussed are typical duties and the organization of all ranks and branches. A selection of photos from the author's archives complement detailed accounts of specific patrols and crews. The author also studies the phenomenon of the submarine ace , drawing all information from original logbooks.
