Wolves at Saint Nazaire by Anthony Saunders
Portrayed in the southern lock at the French port of Saint Nazaire
during the Autumn of 1941 are from left: U552, commanded by
Kapitanleutnant Erich Topp, U567, commanded by Oberleutnant zur See
Engelbert Endrass and U93, commanded by Oberleutnant zur See Horst Elfe.
Saint Nazaire was home for two U-boat flotillas: 7. U-Flotille, the 'Wegener'
Flotilla and 6.U-Flotille, the 'Hundius' Flotilla. It produced some of the
top U-boat commanders including Topp, Endrass, Prien and Kretschmer. The
base reached a peak of activity in mid 1943, however, by the end of the
war the entire port had been flattened by the allied air forces. The only
buildings to survive the onslaught were the bomb proof U-bunkers which can
still be seen to this day.

Against All Odds by Robert Taylor.
Robert Taylors painting protrays the renowned defiance of the U-Boat crews. Caught on the surface by a PBY Catalina the gun crews of a type VIIc U-Boat are quickly into action. The 3.7cm anti-aircraft gun is hurriedly reloaded while on the upper platform the two 2cm anti-aircraft twins take chunks out of the Catalinas tail - enough damage to secure a respite from the attack. Soon they will dive to relative safety beneath the Atlantic swell.

Kriegsmarine U-boats 1939-45 (1) by Gordon Williamson.
This, the first of two volumes on Germanys World War II U-boats, traces their development from the early U-boats of the Kaisers Navy, through the prohibition on German submarines following the Armistice in 1918 and the subsequent Treaty of Versailles, their secret development through a cover-firm in Holland, culminating in the formation of the 1st U-boat Flotilla in 1935 with the modern Type II. The operational history section includes examples from the Type VIIA, Type VIIB, VIID, VIIE and VIIF Classes before concentrating on the mainstay of the U-boat arm, the Type VIIC. Comparisons are also made with the standard allied submarines, their strengths, weaknesses and U-boat tactics.

Kriegsmarine U-boats 1939-45 (2) by Gordon Williamson.
This title follows the New Vanguard 51: Kriegsmarine U-boats 1939-45 (1) and charts the continuing development of the U-boat in German service, including the evolution of the Type IX as a long range cruiser intended for solo operations in distant waters. Also covered is the revolutionary Type XXI, conceived in 1942 and launched in April 1944. The first true submarine rather than submersible, the Type XXIs arrival was just too late to influence the war. Other vessels featured are the Type XXIII, a technically advanced small vessel armed with only two torpedoes, and the Type X minelayers, which were more often used as supply boats than in their intended role.

Type VII U-Boats by Robert C. Stern.
After the narrow defeat of their U-boat fleet in the First World War, the German Navy analyzed their experiences and devised new theories and plans for a future conflict. The principal result of this study was the development of the daring concept of Rudeltaktik, which involved co-ordinated pack attacks on the Allied convoy systems that had proved so successful in defence.

Atlantic Comrades by Ivan Berryman.
The Scharnhorst is pictured in 1939 when she and her sister ship Gneisenau menacingly prowled the North Atlantic. She is shown at dawn as two type VII U-Boats glide towards her for a friendly rendezvous and to take on much needed supplies, as well as a few of the luxuries that the tiny u-boats were simply too small to carry.

The Element of Surprise by Robert Barbour.
On 20th October 1943, Wildcat and Avenger aircraft from the Carrier US Core, on patrol north of the Azores, surprised U378, a type VIIC U-boat which had been active in that area. The element of surprise was so complete that the submarines guns remained unmanned throughout the action.

Operation Drumbeat by Anthony Saunders.
The entry of the United States into the war opened up vast new hunting grounds for the German u-boat fleet. Operation Paukenschlag (Drumbeat in English) began in January 1942, bringing the U-boats their easiest pickings of the war. Over 300 allied vessels were sunk during the Paukenschlag along the US coastline, ranging from New York harbor, to the Straits of Florida. This period, also known as the second Happy Times to the men of the U-boats, was only brought to an end in mid 1942 by the formation of allied convoy systems. On the evening of April 5th 1942, U552, commanded by Kapitanleutnant Erich Topp, sealed the f | |
