"The work was written postwar at the Admiralty's request by Fregattenkapitän Günter Hessler, who was given free access to the war diaries and primary sources of the German Navy." - introduction.A facsimile edition of a history and analysis of the German U-Boat offensive in the Atlantic based on German Navy documents and never intended for publication, this makes available details of strategy, technology, signals intelligence, tactics and weapons - much of it for the first time. The introduction, written with the advantage of hindsight, sheds light on many incidents puzzling to the original compiler
