About this product

Product Information

Few commanders symbolise the evolution of the German U-boat arm during the Second World War as does Adalbert Adi Schnee. In 1940, Schnee successively commanded three Type II U-boats-U-6, U-60 and U-121- in which he registered his first successes in the Atlantic. From the beginning of 1941, he was appointed commander of U-201, the first Type VIIC U-boat allotted to I Flotilla. During seven patrols with this U-Boot, which would take him to the coasts of America and Africa, he would receive the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves. With 15 ships sunk in convoys in the mid-Atlantic, he became the specialist in this form of attack. Commanding U-2511 in May 1945, he alone carried out an actual combat mission in the Type XXI U-boat. With the aid of logbooks and the recent discovery of a considerable collection of images from a war correspondent on one of U-201's missions, this book examines Schnee's incredible combat career. AUTHOR: Luc Braeuer, born in Paris in 1970, is a computer engineer and officer in the reserve. Specialising in German submarines in France, he is the French correspondent for the U-Boat Archive, Cuxhaven. With his brother, he created three WWII museums in France. 206 images

    Although I havnt read much of this book so far it is incredibly hard to put down and you easily lose time when reading, and absolute must buy for anyone who is interested in both U boats and war time history
