Product Description
A unique story of life aboard the German U-boats between 1940 and 1946, this is probably the only first-hand account ever to appear in print. NCO radio operator Wolfgang Hirschfeld risked his life by keeping a diary of his U-boat career - an occupation punishable by court-martial.
Hirschfeld - privy to top secret information via the messages he was employed to send - served under three exceptional commanders: one who would later publicly resign his commission whilst still on the open sea, another who was the legendary commander of the ghost ship Atlantic. He witnessed firsthand the Battle of the Atlantic and his position meant he was a great deal better informed of its progress than many naval officers. His final voyage remains shrouded in mystery - why did the U-boat surrender en route to Japan with an illicit cargo of radioactive material and an Me 263 fighter on board?
