German text	U-Boote - Eine Bildchronik 1935-1945 1935 begann im Deutschen Reich der Aufbau der Kriegsmarine, wobei den Unterseebooten nur eine Nebenrolle zukam – trotz der Erfahrungen des Ersten Weltkrieges. Dennoch wurden U-Boote ab 1939 zu den gefürchtetsten Gegnern der alliierten Schifffahrt. Der Autor analysiert den Einsatz und die Entwicklung der Unterseeboote, stellt die verschiedenen U-Bootstypen vor, beschreibt die Stützpunkte an der Atlantikküste und befasst sich mit den alliierten Taktiken und Strategien zur U-Boot-Abwehr. Zusammen mit der Vorstellung bekannter Boote und ihrer Kommandanten und der farbigen Wiedergabe von Uniformen und Wappen stellt diese Chronik eine beeindruckende Gesamtschau der U-Bootwaffe dar.

German text	Deutsche U-Boote an feindlichen Küsten 1939 - 1945 - Kommandounternehmen - Spionage und Sabotage - Versorgungsfahrten Während des 2. Weltkrieges landeten deutsche U-Boote aus zahlreichen operativen Gründen heraus vielfach an sehr ungastlichen und bedrohlichen Gestaden. Dieser Gesichtspunkt der Geschichte des U-Bootkrieges ist es, der den Inhalt dieses faszinierenden Berichtes bildet. Landungen fanden dort statt, wo dies die verschiedenen Forderungen des Krieges diktierten. Sie reichten von jenen an der Küste neutraler Staaten wie Irland und Spanien über den Versuch von Spionage und Sabotage in den Vereinigten Staaten, dem Vordringen in kanadische Gewässer und noch weiter nördlich zu den Inseln des Nördlichen Eismeeres bis hin zu den Landungen an der nordafrikanischen Küste, um Rommels Afrikakorps zu unterstützen, und später im Kriege zu Versuchen, vom alliierten Vordringen in Europa abgeschnittene Streitkräfte zu versorgen. Von besonderem Interesse ist auch eine Landung im nördlichen Kanada, um eine deutsche Wetterstation einzurichten. Für den Leser formt Jak P. Mallmann Showell als anerkannter Fachmann auf diesem Gebiet, auf Grund sorgfältiger Forschungen ein ausgezeichnetes Porträt von der außergewöhnlichen Geschichte deutscher U-Boot-Landungen an feindlichen Küsten.

	Item 244 : Das Boot The German U-Boat in History and Diorama This book is the first in a new series of publications by Andrea Press. In addition to the usual modeling treatment of the subject, there is considerable historical material, adding interesting images and data to the many books on German submarines that have been published since the end of World War II. To achieve this ambitious goal, a skilled team of professionals has relevant information on submarines from many diverse sources. Previously unpublished photographs, the original building plans of the type VII C, biographies of the main German submarine aces of the two world wars, and many other features make this book a work of reference as well as an entertaining way to acquire knowledge and to learn surprising facts and trivia. The first part of the book is dedicated to the history of submarine navigation from its beginning to the end of WWII. It focuses especially on the German U-Boat, as it was the most produced submarine ever and probably represents an epitome for submarine in general. The second part shows how a spectacular diorama was built with a U-Boat in dry dock, while the crew and dock personnel prepare for the next mission. With more than 74 figures, this model is doubtless one of the most remarkable military miniature diorama ever built. A great deal of time and effort was needed for its completion. In all, the book joins the fascinating fields of history and modeling in easy and captivating way, in an attempt to bring them closer to the discerning reader.

	Item 180 : U-BOATS, The illustrated history of the raiders of the deep A complete history of German Submarines, from the moment the victorious Allies deprived Germany of her U-boats in 1919, the German Navy was determined to regain the warships that had so nearly brought them victory in the Great War, Indeed, during the next world war, one of the fiercest, and most critical battles took place over a period of almost six years in the Atlantic, as German submarines sought to strangle the supply lines that kept Great Britain alive. U-BOATS, a fascinating and comprehensive chronicle of the development, activities, and fate of all known German submarines, chronicles these undersea terrors - from early submersible designs through their operations in two world wars and to the late 1940s, when the last German subs were scuttled. It features the tactics and technology used to prey upon Allied warships and unarmed merchantmen. U-boats is an essential reference for naval historians and enthusiasts alike.

	Item 216 : The Type VII U-Boat Anatomy of the Ship Complete with 1/150 scale fold-out plan This highly acclaimed series aims to provide the finest documentation of individual ships and ship types ever published. It is a radical departure from the usual monograph approach, which concentrates on either the ship's service history, its technical details or external appearance. All of this aspects are included in the Anatomy of the Ship, but what makes the series unique is a complete set of superbly executed line drawings, both the conventional type of plan as well as explanatory perspective views, with fully descriptive keys. Although elaborate drawings are extremely popular in aviation publications, this is the first attempt to document a ship in similar depth - literally down to the nuts and bolts. These drawings are accurate, visually exciting and totally comprehensive, offering ship buffs, historians and model makers a novel insight in to the technicalities of each ship type covered.
