A book on submarines of the Kriegsmarine? Here are books on the history, models and technology of German type VII submarines.
U-Boat Manual (1936-1945) - Type VIIA, B, C and Type VIIC/41) - An insight into the design, construction and operation (Haynes Maritime Manual)
The German Type VIIC U-boat, scourge of Allied shipping convoys during the Second World War, was the workhorse of the German U-boat force. With some 568 Type VIIs in use between 1940 and 1945 it was a potent fighting vessel that could hunt for long periods in the far reaches of the western and southern Atlantic.
Centrepiece of the Haynes U-boat Manual is the sole surviving example of a Type VIIC U-boat, U-995, which is on display at the German Naval Memorial near Kiel in northern Germany.

Über 10 Millionen Menschen haben bereits das U-Boot U 995 vor dem Marine-Ehrenmal in Laboe besucht. Im September 1943 erbaut, erlebte dieses Boot eine wechselvolle Geschichte: Vom Kriegseinsatz im Atlantik und im Nordmeer, der Überlassung an die norwegische Marine nach Kriegsende bis hin zur Rückgabe an Deutschland Ende der 60er Jahre.
Dies ist die reich bebilderte Dokumentation seiner Biographie vor dem Hintergrund des U-Boot-Kriegs. Daneben verfügt dieser Titel über eine ausführliche Besatzungsbiographie, einzigartige Unterwasserfotos, viele Grafiken und eine Faltkarte über den Verbleib aller deutschen U-Boote des Krieges.
