This review is from: Deutsche U-Boote GEHEIM 1935-1945 (German U-Boat SECRET 1935-1945) (Hardcover)

The first 42 pages are in full text German, and the rest of the book (207 paged in total) contains photos with one or two lines of German text. I can't help you with the German text (I'm not very fluent in German myself). However, it is very easy to take the text below the photos and copy it into a language translator. ... It works great, but sometimes the translation doesn't work too good for technical terms (a little interpretation is needed on your part).

Now for the best part of the book.... I am into R/C model U-boat building and belong to the "Subcommittee" web organization. The photos in this book are of the best quality that I have ever seen of German WWII U-boats. Many of the photos were stamped for official German Kreigsmarine documentation. If you need good clear photos of the Type-II or the Type-VII, then this is the book for you. The author even has drawings of the Control Center and listings for all the levers, and gauges, etc. There is even a detailed document on the toilet. Now, that's getting down to the basics! In my opinion, if Richard Lakowski did another book on the type-XXI or type-XXIII with the same quality, then I would buy it to add to my library.
