The original handbook was compiled from combat reports and was regularly updated throughout the war. The handbook was an invaluable reference for every operational U-boat commander. Simply written and highly accessible for a wider audience, the U-boat handbook attempted to anticipate every possible situation and to advise on suitable tactics. This superb war-time primary source is enhanced by a rare series of photographs taken on an actual combat patrol and published during the time of the Third Reich in the book \"U-Boot Auf Feindfahrt\". Together the handbook and these rare photographs provide a fascinating glimpse into the world of the U-boats from a first hand perspective, and is essential reading for anyone interested in World War II from primary sources. This book is part of the 'Hitler's War Machine' series, a new military history range compiled and edited by Emmy Award winning author and historian Bob Carruthers. The series draws on primary sources and contemporary documents toprovide a new insight into the true nature of Hitler's Wehrmacht. The series consultant is David Mcwhinnie creator of the award winning PBS series 'Battlefield'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carruthers Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47598233649303,"sku":"9781781580561","price":2813.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781781580561.webp?v=1775000131","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-official-u-boat-commanders-handbook-the-illustrated-edition-9781781580561","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
