See all formats and editions

Arranged by sea areas and in chronological order, this informative study contains reports of the attacks by Soviet submarines in the Baltic and Black Seas, and the attacks by British and other Allied submarines from Norway to Morocco, including the Mediterranean. This information has been compiled by the renowned German naval historian Jürgen Rohwer, with assistance from experts in Great Britain, France, Poland, Norway, the Netherlands, Italy, Greece, Russia, Finland, Sweden, Turkey, the United States, and Japan. The work not only confirms assessments from earlier publications, but corrects many wartime reports based on insufficient or incorrect observations and claims.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Good with the Bad
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2001
I decided against giving the book 4 stars because, while it represents a worthy achievement, it also has its warts.
Consisting entirely of tabular data, the book lists every attack claim and places it alongside the actual results--plenty of ore you'll be mining for a long time.
On the downside, a half-hearted translation leaves a platoon of opaque abbreviations--"le" for Latvian, "-DP" for passenger liner, etc--so be prepared to memorize the German shorthand.
A book of this nature should be more eager to stay open when you lay it flat on your desk to compare with your notes.
The author at times is overly dogmatic in cases of conflicting claims. On the flip side, the sparse textual content occasionally leaves matters unclear.
I am glad I made the purchase, but I suggest you do as I did--wait for a sale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bursting with data
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2000
This is a data-book, pure and simple. It contains details of each attack made by Allied submarines in the ETO (as the title suggests).
Information on each attack is: Date and time of attack (reported by submarine and target); Nationality of attacking submarine; Number or name of attacking submarine; Name of commanding officer of submarine; target type (as reported by the submarine, and actual); Tonnage of target (reported and actual); Result of the attack (reported and actual); Weapon used in attack; Position of attack (as reported by submarine and target); Nationality of attacked ship; Name of attacked ship.
There are also short notes on many of the attacks, expanding on the raw data.
The chapters are divided in to region (Arctic, Black Sea etc), and an index is provided of all submarines, commanding officers and attacked ships.
This book is a must-have for those interested in the raw data. If you're after a narrative then this book is certainly not for you.
