U-Boat War in Photos by Harry Cooper Pdf

"U-Boat War in Photos" volume 1 (U-1 through U-29) The Battle of the Atlantic was the longest continuously running battle in the history of war. The German U-Bootfahrer were some of the most honorable fighters in the war despite wartime propaganda to the contrary. They did not machine gun men in the water but rather, they helped struggling survivors of the sunken ships in the early years. After 'Black May' of 1943 when the German codes were broken and 'Huff-Duff' (or High Frequency Directional Finder = HFDF) came on the scene and U-Boats did not dare linger on the surface did the U-Boats cease giving aid; they never murdered men at sea. Nearly 3,000 ships were sunk, tens of thousand merchant sailors died, more than 800 U-Boats were lost and nearly 29,000 U-Bootfahrer perished in the cold oceans of the world. At the end of the war however, the U-Bootwaffe was the only oversubscribed branch of the Wehrmacht (German military forces). After 'Black May' U-Boats had one chance in ten of returning from their first Feindfahrt (war patrol) and nine out of ten chances of being sunk. Still they enlisted.....still they went to sea, most never to return.

U-505 by Rear-Admiral Daniel Vincent Gallery Pdf

Admiral Daniel V. Gallery boarded and captured a German U-Boat at sea in June, 1944—the first American officer to so capture an enemy warship since 1815! U-505 is Admiral Gallery’s own story of his extraordinary feat—and also a gripping narrative of the fierce Allied war against the German U-Boat fleet. “EXCELLENT.”—Chicago Tribune “Terrific...the first-hand story of Uncle Sam’s U-Boat killers.”—Chicago Daily News “Brimming with thrills.”—Philadelphia News “An engrossing tale...Pungent, entertaining, informative.”—Navy Times “A humdinger of a sea story...a highly readable book, trimmed from stem to stern with the writer’s irrepressible sense of humor.”—Chicago Sunday Times “Excellent in several ways: it provides a fine quick survey of the whole Atlantic war, it describes the operation of the German U-boat service, and, most dramatically, it tells how an American task force under Admiral Gallery achieved the unique feat of capturing a German submarine.”—Publishers’ Weekly “U-505 IS ONE OF THE WAR’S MOST EXCITING MEMOIRS.”—Chicago News “One of the best non-fiction books about World War II.”—Raleigh News & Observer “A first-rate adventure tale...suspense and excitement told with a seaman’s salty zest...excellent reading.”—Chicago Sunday Tribune “A masterful job that merits the attention of every lover of sea stories.”—Pittsburgh Press

Lost WW II U-Boat Photos (Vol. II) by Harry Cooper Pdf

The history of the German U-Boat War of 1939 through 1945 has never before been told in any great depth for various reasons. One reason of course, is that this data was not readily released to the general public during the war for reasons of security. After the war the U-Bootfahrer were held in great hatred due to the heavily slanted propaganda during the war years that claimed that German U-Bootfahrer were raving Nazis; that they machine gunned helpless men in the water - all absolutely false, but propaganda is a valuable weapon during time of war. After all, propaganda of World War One said that the evil "Hun" (there were no Nazis in that war) raped young women to death then fired their lifeless bodies out the torpedo tubes. It made great propaganda - everyone hated the Germans so much that nobody questioned where they found young women to rape out on the high seas. Propaganda is a critical weapon during a war. If the commanding officer were to tell his men that the guys on the other side of the battlefield loved their country like his men; had a wife and children they wanted to come home to; he went to the same church his men did - now go kill those men in the other uniform; then nobody would kill anyone and who could fight a war where nobody killed anyone? Maybe that would be the best kind of war. There is a certain mystique about submarines in general and the U-Boats of Germany in World War Two in particular. Never before in history has any nation built and fought such a massive numbers of submarines - Germany had many hundreds in their fleet and the men who rode these boats were a particularly unique kind of warrior. I have been blessed to have known hundreds of the surviving U-Bootfahrer and dozens of the Skippers. These were the most honorable of the combatants.....many of the photos you will see were given to Sharkhunters by these warriors. We have well over a quarter-million photos in our library, actually closer to 300,000 and probably 75% are of the U-Boats, the crews and the Skippers. A great many have never been seen before this book and the volumes that will follow this Volume #2. Now sit back and let your mind take you back to that time in history; let your imagination bring you onto the bridge of a U-Boat crashing through mountainous seas in pursuit of a convoy or looking through the periscope at smoke smudges just over the horizon that says a convoy is there. Perhaps your imagination takes you to a quiet shore in the dark of night as the crew puts the rubber rafts over the side and saboteurs begin their trek to a foreign shore. Sir back and enjoy - you are in command.

Kriegsmarine U-boats 1939–45 (1) by Gordon Williamson Pdf

This, the first of two volumes on Germany's World War II U-boats, traces their development from the early U-boats of the Kaiser's Navy, the prohibition on Germany having U-boats following the Armistice in 1918 and the subsequent Treaty of Versailles, the secret development of U-boats using 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 Classes Type VIIA, Type VIIB, VIID, VIIE and VIIF 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.

U-Boat War Patrol by Lawrence Paterson Pdf

“[A] book of rare photographs . . . detailing life aboard a German Second World War submarine” from the author of Operation Colossus (History Today). This unique account charts the complete story of a single U-boat patrol through the summer of 1942 based around a remarkable collection of photographs that were “liberated” from a concrete U-boat pen in Brest at the end of the war and which had, until recently, remained hidden in a shoe box. The boat in question, U-564, carried the famous three black cat motif of Reinhard “Teddy” Suhren who, along with Prien and Kretschmer, was one of the top U-boat commanders during the battles of the Atlantic. This remarkable book provides unique access into both the day-to-day life of a U-boat at sea and into the detailed workings of the Kriegsmarine. Through the successes and trials of U-564 the reader is transported to that vast and watery battlefield that was perhaps the most significant theatre of the Second World War. “The text tells the story of U 564, and the images display the cramped conditions and the way of life on a war patrol. This is an absorbing story with the most memorable and unique collection of images filmed under patrol conditions.” —Firetrench

World War II Album Volume 27 by Dennis McLelland Ed D,Richard Baughman Pdf

Merriam Press World War II Album WA27 (First Edition, 2015). A collection of photographs taken by esteemed U-boat Captain, Herbert Werner, one of a handful of U-boat commanders to survive World War II, and whose memoir, "Iron Coffins," is a classic. This fascinating collection of impromptu photographs has been, for the most part, unseen by the general public. It is important to reflect upon how difficult, and often horrific, life was on a U-boat. The crews of each U-boat fully understood that there was the very real possibility of forever being entombed in their "iron coffins," if an enemy's cannon, bomb, or depth charge, found its mark. The U-boat war was fast becoming, as Werner stated, "one long funeral procession for us." 105 photos and illustrations.

U-Boats at War in World War I and II by Jon Sutherland,Diane Canwell Pdf

A photographic history of German submarines in the world wars, including unseen images from the personal collections of captains and crew. U-boats were the scourge of the seas for Allied shipping during both world wars, almost bringing Britain to the brink of starvation on several occasions. This book contains unseen photographs taken by German submarine crew and captains during each war. The World War One selection features a submariner’s photos of U-25, an early German U-boat. They belonged to WO Friedrich Pohl, who served on U-boats SM-25 and SMU-33. There are many photos of the U-boat itself, crew on deck, and attacks on Norwegian merchant ships with the surface gun. U-25 was launched July 12, 1913, sank a total of twenty-one ships and 14,126 tons, and surrendered to France on February 23, 1919. The World War Two photos include images from an original WW2 U-boat commander’s photo album. It belonged to Kapitan Leutnant Herbert Bruninghaus. As a U-boat navigator, he served on the famous U-38 under ace Heinrich Liebe. Bruninghaus later went on to command three U-boats of his own: U-6, U-148, and U-1059. There are also original images from a Kriegmarine officer’s photo album (unfortunately unnamed), including photos of Commander Prien’s U-47 returning to Kiel after attacks at Scapa Flow.

Shooting the War by Otto Giese,James E. Wise Pdf

The war diary of former German naval officer Otto Giese recounts a seafaring career of extraordinary scope. It begins with the dawning of World War II, while the author is a junior officer on board the ocean liner SS Columbus, and continues through his confinement in a British prisoner-of-war camp after the war. Readers will be moved by the author's ability to put a human face on the German experience of the war. The book contains more than 100 Leica-quality photographs, an exceptional assortment taken by Giese throughout his wartime service that offers a unique historical overview. Also included are vivid accounts of the scuttling of the Columbus, furtive blockade running, and the arduous life of the men who served in Germany's fleet of "gray wolves" as they prowled the polar sea and other remote corners of the world. Even with Germany's surrender, the war was far from over for Giese and his comrades, who remained deep in the Malayan jungle until captured by the British and imprisoned in the infamous Changi Jail. Interspersed among tales of hardship and loss are colorful anecdotes that relay joy and camaraderie. Whether it be plots to escape detention at Angel Island, the unlikely processing of German seamen at Ellis Island, or a stint "policing" guerrilla warfare in the Malayan jungle, the author greets the incongruous moments of war and life with equanimity. At the same time his memoirs offer an unwavering assessment of the dictates of duty.
