Formed in 1935, First U-Boat Flotilla operated against Hitler's enemies
from the very earliest stage of the war through to September 1944 when
disbanded amid the flames of Brest during the US siege. Over
seventy-five per cent of operational U-boats were lost as the Allies'
counter-measures and code-breaking successes took ever greater effect.
This fascinating work records the Flotilla's successes and disasters in
detail.
