Although the heavy units of the fleet were too small in number to pose much of a threat to huge fleets such as the Royal Navy, Germany was particularly well served by her Navy's smaller vessels, in particular two specific branches - the U-Boats and the S-Boats.

About this product

Product Information

By the outbreak of World War II, Germany had done much to replace the Kaiser's High Seas Fleet, which was scuttled following their surrender at the end of World War I. Forced to build anew, the Kriegsmarine possessed some of the most technically advanced warships in existence. Although the heavy units of the fleet were too small in number to pose much of a threat, Germany was particularly well served by her Navy's smaller vessels, in particular the U-Boats and the S-Boats. Known to the allies as the E-Boats ('Enemy'), they performed sterling duties in the Black Sea and English Channel, where they became a particular scourge.

  • GerMAN e-bOATS

    This is a light overview of, as the tile suggests German E-boats between 1939 through 1945. There are tech specifications, operational histories, B&W photographs and colour illustrations. That's pretty much it. Tender vessels are mentioned but that's it. Attack tactics or mine laying operations are not discussed in depth. Good as an introduction and to whet the appetite.
