U-Boats at War - Landings on Hostile Shores by Jak P Mallmann Showell.

For much of World War 2 Germanys most threatening maritime force was the U-boat arm. Despite its very high casualty rate the German Navys highly successful submarine force achieved much during the war, threatening at times to seriously disrupt the supply lines of convoys across the Atlantic between Britain and North America and the Allied resupplying of Soviet forces through the Arctic ports, as well as taking on a wide variety of other roles for which it was especially suitable. Author Jak P Mallmann Showell has gathered together a fascinating selection of first-hand accounts and historic photographs, many of them previously unpublished, showing how U-boats landed on hostile shores. During the war, representatives of the U-boat service landed on many of the most inhospitable and threatening shores for numerous operational reasons and it is this aspect of U-boat history that forms the story of this fascinating account. Landings took place wherever the various demands of war dictated, ranging from the coast of neutral countries such as Ireland and Spain, attempted espionage and sabotage in the United States, intrusions into Canadian waters and further north on barren islands in the Arctic Ocean, to the landings along the North African coast to assist Rommels North Afrika Korps and, later in the war, attempts to supply forces cut off by the Allied advance through Europe. Also of special interest is a landing in northern Canada to establish a German weather station on the American continent. .For all those interested in the naval campaigns of World War 2, Jak P Mallmann Showell, an acknowledged expert in the history of the U-boat arm in World War 2, builds through his careful research a superb portrait of the bravery of the men of the Kriegsmarine and the extraordinary story of their landings on hostile shores in the years between 1939 and 1945.
