The most
extensive and reliable data available on Axis submarine victories
are presented in this comprehensive reference. First published in
1983 and now revised to reflect information recently uncovered, the
book is the product of years of research by Jürgen Rohwer, a leading
expert in the field. Taken from widely dispersed sources, the information
offers a detailed compilation of German, Italian, Japanese, Romanian,
Finnish, and Vichy-French submarine successes and claims against Allied
and neutral ships in every theater of the war at sea. Each entry gives
the date of the attack; the nationality, name, and commander of the
attacking submarine; a reference map with the precise location of
the attack; and the type, tonnage, nationality, and name of ship sunk.
Additional information, aimed at resolving controversial claims and
clarifying previously inexact data, is also provided. Separating fact
from wartime propaganda and myth, the book will serve as an indispensable
guide to submarine operations and military and merchant shipping losses.
