The Merchant U-Boat: Adventures of the Deutschland, 1916-1918
No Customer Reviews
Everyone with a taste for adventure and intrigue will appreciate this entertaining and informative book. Based on the World War I records of the German navy, the British Admiralty, the U. S. Department of State, and contemporary newspaper reports, it offers the first detailed account of the unorthodox activities of the Deutschland. This uniquely designed U-boat, built with an exceptionally wide beam to carry cargo, was Germany's desperate response to a British blockade that by 1916 had driven the regular merchant fleet from the seas, leaving Germany cut off from foreign markets and on the verge of economic collapse.
