Fine in good dust jacket. xviii, 329 p. : illus., map, ports.; 24 cm. Includes: Illustrations, Maps, Portraits. New York, NY Holt, Rinehart & Winston 1969 1st Hardcover Fine Condition Book in Good Dust Jacket. DJ covered in mylar. Black cloth with gilt text on spine, illustrated end papers, 329 pages. N004 A Scarce Title. Former U Boat Commander Tells the Real Story of Life and Death in the German Sub Service, This personal account of Germany's U-boat campaign in WWII is probably the most detailed of this aspect of the war, which was so terriably costly to both sides, but particularly to Germany's undersea arm which lost nearly 800 U-boats, often with all crew. Werner frequently gives a minute by minute description of both attack and being attacked in a U-boat and in telling the story reveals eloquently why Winston Churchill said the "U-Boat peril" was the only thing that really frightened him during the war.

First hand U-Boat officer, WW2
An extremely interesting and sometimes very harrowing account of one of the few survivors of Germany's Submarine command. It is appalling how few U-boat sailors survived the war and the absolutely grueling conditions they worked under on a patrol. Once you "live" thru the patrols with the author, you wonder how he managed to tolerate the extremely cramped conditions that were much worse than the American submariners endured in the Pacific. The American boats were much more luxurious than the German type VII's, which was their primary submarine type. The book's title is very appropriate due to the large number of German crewmen lost.
A forward by the famous U.S. submariner, Beach.
