Notes:
This outstanding anthology is a testament to the courage, tenacity, initiative and humour of the many thousands of Second World War submariners who served their countries, often in the most difficult and extraordinary circumstances. It allows men of all ranks to tell their stories in their own wordsFollow U-47's attack on HMS Royal Oak at Scapa Flow, as written by her commander just a few months after the event, and an account by a German midshipman of the sinking of the ace U-boat U-99. A Royal Navy officer describes how he pulled off a fiendishly difficult attack on a tanker, a young French sub-lieutenant narrates the poignant account of his submarine's escape from the German attack on Toulon in 1942; and a Norwegian wireless operator tells of his epic escape from Norway.
