From an incredible collection of photos discovered in the U-Boote submarine base of Brest at the end of the war, and hidden until recently in a shoebox, this exceptional book retraces the complete story Of a U-Boot on a mission during the summer of 1942. The submarine in question, the U-564, sports the famous motif with "3 black cats" of "Teddy Suhren" which, with Prien and Kretschmer , Was one of the great commanders of U-Boot during the Battle of the Atlantic.
This remarkable book provides a unique insight into both day-to-day life in an immersive U-Boot and the complex workings of the Kriegsmarine. Through successes and trials of U-564, the reader is taken to this immense naval battlefield which is perhaps one the most important theaters of the Second World War.
