Meer over het boek

Focusing on the fate of ninety-two German U-boats, this volume chronicles their operations from Lorient during a critical period of World War II. It highlights the success of Type IX U-boats in sinking ships in distant waters, far exceeding those targeting North Atlantic convoys. The narrative also addresses the impact of Allied bombardments on Lorient and the advancement of anti-U-boat measures that ultimately forced these submarines to retreat. Enhanced by over 600 photographs, maps, and a unique color section, the book captures the historical significance of U-boats in the region.
