After the early war years when U-boats struck seemingly at will and to great effect, the later years were much grimmer for the Kriegsmarine. Crews went to sea knowing that their life expectancy was short and their fate likely to be a watery grave. This book provides the truth behind the image portrayed so convincingly in 'Das Boot'. 24 colour and 112 b/w photos. 128 pages. A4 hardback

Better for modelers than wargamers,
By Feamane "DJ" (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: World War Two Military Vehicles: Transport and Halftracks (Hardcover)
This book covers most of the same ground as World War Two Military Vehicles by G. N. Georgano; if you can't find that one this one is very comparable. For wargamers there is one big problem with this book: it does NOT list basic stats like speed and range!

A Very Credible Effort,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: World War Two Military Vehicles: Transport and Halftracks (Hardcover)
This book does a very good job covering the wide variety of soft-skinned transport vehicles used by the major combatants of the Second World War. Quite a bit of the book is devoted to the vehicles of the American, British Commonwealth, and Soviet forces, but this is appropriate considering the emphasis the Allis placed on logistics. Coverage of Axis vehicles is good too, but one must keep in mind that transport vehicles were not as high a priority with Nazi Germany, Italy, and Japan.
