Descripton: This book contains some reports from former U-boat men, including the later BdU Grossadmiral Dönitz describing his time on SM UB 69. Among the 45 who tell their stories are the most famous U-boat commanders, but also simple sailors or engineers, naval air personnel, etc. Although written just before the war and even during the war, it is a very interesting book to get an idea of what life was like on board U-boats and all kinds of operations they were involved in.
