Interesting perspectives from an 'average (young) enlisted man' not unlike any who serve (politics and country aside). Even though the story is told from later life, he confirmed his observations with others before putting things down in print. He also helps to give a better sense of how hard life was both on and off the U-boats. It is a worthwhile read IMHO. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Using his own experiences, log books, and correspondence with other U-boat crewmen, Hans Goebeler offers rich and personal details about what life was like in the German Navy under Hitler. Since his first and last posting was to U-505, Goebeler's perspective of the crew, commanders, and war patrols paints a vivid and complete portrait unlike any other to come out of the Kriegsmarine. He witnessed it all, from deadly sabotage efforts that almost sunk the boat to the tragic suicide of the only U-boat commander who took his life during World War II. The vivid, honest, and smooth-flowing prose calls it like it was and pulls no punches. U-505 was captured by Captain Dan Gallery's Guadalcanal Task Group 22.3 on June 4, 1944. Trapped by this "hunter-killer" group, U-505 was depth-charged to the surface, strafed by machine gun fire, and boarded. It was the first ship captured at sea since the War of 1812. Today, hundreds of thousands of visitors tour U-505 each year at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. This edition includes a special foreword by Keith Gill, curator of U-505 at the Museum of Science and Industry. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
