Customer Reviews

Mallman Showell has done it again!

This is perhaps one of the most comprehensive books written on U-boats available today! If you are a modeller get ready and buckle your seatbelt! Inside you will find many interesting photographs and stories. There is also a chapter dealing only with the crews, and their uniforms. Mr. Mallmann has also included some never before published information including a letter from Lehmann Willenbrock to his mother telling of the loss of U-377, his fathers boat. But this is truly a fascinating book and if you can find one make sure you get your hands on it!
