A deep dive into the fate of German submarines lost during the Second World War. "This has to be the best reference you can find on the subject."--Military Modelling   No other publication on this subject comes even close to including the amount of detail provided in this book. An introduction both summarizes previous works on the subject and describes the difficulties of obtaining and verifying information from either the Germans or the Allies on U-boat losses.   The main part of the book lists by hull number each U-boat's date of commissioning, its commanding officer, and the date and port of departure for its last patrol. It also gives the date, position, and cause of loss of each submarine, with complete details on Allied units involved in the sinking, the names and ranks of their commanding officers and pilots, and the number of crew killed or rescued. An appendix neatly summarizes data on the disposition of surviving U-boats at the end of the war and provides valuable statistical data on German U-boat losses.   "Highly recommended for every serious scholar of the Atlantic war, and every library in naval history and the history of the Second World War."--The Mariner's Mirror   "The level of detail is quite impressive and this edition is the result of 16 years of further research since the first edition . . . If you are seeking data on the fate of U-Boats then this book should be your 'first place of call'--no other book has such detailed data."--Military Archive Research… (altro)

German U-Boat Losses During World War II

Ok I admit I am somewhat of an anorak with a passionate interest in naval history, well we are an island after all, and during war if you want to beat the British you have to cut them off at sea first. The U-Boat was the principle weapon for the German’s in their hope of defeating Britain whether through starvation or breaking their morale.

I also admit that I am a collector of postal history and primarily feldpost and the sister branch in the Kriegsmarine so I love to drink all the information up. German U-Boat Losses During World War II has all the information I could ever require from all the U-Boats ordered and those that were completed between 1935 and 1945 and then there is the Loss Register.

The U-Boat building list gives the dates ordered and where they were built along with their corresponding U-Boat number and what design type they were. The Loss Register is comprehensive, with who was the commanding officer, when it was destroyed. It also has the coordinates of where the U-Boat was what destroyed it and the name of the ship or place that destroyed the U-Boat.

This is an excellent book for those that are interested in naval military history in World War II and this is an excellent tool for all researchers. ( )
