U boats in camera Item 139 : U-Boats in Camera
 This book describes the life of a German U-boat from construction through to active service, and looks at commissioning, sea trials and the first patrol of a typical boat during the Second World War. This extensively illustrated book also offers a rare glimpse of domestic life on board a German U-Boat, focusing on what the ordinary seaman would have seen and experienced during his first weeks aboard a brand new boat. The author draws on the extensive archives of the U-Boot-Archiv, which is one of the world's leading sources of information on U-boats, and many of the photographs that appear in this book are previously unpublished. It affords a rare and fascinating insight into this much feared weapon of the Second World War, and will appeal to all with an interest in the armed forces of the Third Reich.

U-boats, the illustrated history

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.

TYpe VII U-boat 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.

Wolf Pack Item 220 : Wolf Pack
The story of the U-boat in World War II
Germany's World War II U-Boat fleet represented the elite of their naval personnel. In terms of technology, training, tactics and combat successes, the U-Boat Waffe was far superior to that of any other combatant nation. In this comprehensive book, the wartime development of the U-Boat is traced along with the experiences of typical U-Boat crewmen, from recruitment to combat. The author examines the operational tactics of the U-Boat fleet, as well as describing the massive bunkers that housed them. 'Wolf Pack' contains material taken from Fortress 3: 'U-Boat Bases and Bunkers 1941-45', Warrior 36: 'Grey Wolf: U-Boat Crewman of World War II' and New Vanguards 51 and 55: 'Kriegsmarine U-Boat 1939-45 (1) and (2)', with the addition of a new section on wartime tactics.

Die Geschichte der Torpedoentwicklung in Deutschland ist die spannende Geschichte einer technischen Waffe, die eng mit den Erfolgen und Misserfolgen ihrer wichtigsten Träger, der U-Boote, verknüpft ist.
Die erweiterte zweite Auflage seines Standardwerkes hat der Autor u.a. um eine detaillierte DArstellung der neuen Torpedogeneration SEEHECHT vergänzt.
Von Torpedorohren ausgestoßene Flugkörper zur HUbschrauberbekämpfung und torpedoähnliche Effektoren finden als jüngste Entwicklungen der Deutschen Marine ebenfalls gebührende Beachtung, zusätzliche Kapitel über die Torpedoherstellung im Zweiten Weltkrieg, Torpedominen und Torpedorohre der neuen U-Boote wurden in den bestehenden Text eingearbeitet. Mit seinen mehr als 300 Abbildungen begeistert das Werk sowohl die Technik -Fans als auch den interessierten Laien.

deutscher U-Boote 1939-1945
Georg Högel hat als ehemaliger U-Boot Fahrer des Zweiten Weltkrieges das Entstehen dieser Abzeichen der U-Boot Waffe erlebt. Nun hält er in seinem Buch die Erinnerungen an legendäre, manchmal sehr originelle und unvergessene Abzeichen deutscher U-Boote wach.
Zahlreiche Embleme, Wappen und Malings konnte der Autor in langjähriger, mühevoller Kleinarbeit als Vermächtnis sammeln- immerhin sind 30,000 deutsche U-Boot-Fahrer, also über 60 Prozent, die auf diesen Booten fuhren, im Krieg gefallen.
Die im BUch enthaltenen Kurzchroniken und Auszüge aus Einsatzberichten verdeutlichen aus eindrucksvolle Weise die Geschichte der jeweiligen U-Boote und dokumentieren die Hintergründe ihres Verbleibs. In der jetzt vorliegenden Fassung wurde auch das letzte Quellenmaterial berücksichtigt, so daß dem Leser bisher noch nicht veröffentlichte Embleme, Wappen und Malings präsentiert werden können.
