Synopsis: Of all the units of the German armed forces, it was the men of its submarine force who suffered the highest proportion of casualties: around 85%. How is it possible that, despite the enormous number of casualties, the U-Boat force of the Third Reich inflicted such significant losses on the Allied naval forces? It was all due to the daring of the officers and crew members who formed part of this branch of the Kriegsmarine during World War II. In this book, you will learn about the most decorated submarine captains of the war, as well as the most memorable actions of the war aboard the dangerous submarines serving Adolf Hitler’s war machine. We will also explore the most widely used combat tactics and the deadliest submarines of the war, as well as all the stages of the submarine warfare that could have tilted the victory in favor of the Axis powers. Günter Prien, Karl Dönitz, Erich Topp, Reinhard Hardegen, and many more... all gathered in one pack, the wolves of the Kriegsmarine.
