Out of 820 U-Boats, 718 were destroyed in action; out of 39,000 men, only 7,000 survived the war. What gives flesh to these horrifying statistics is this account by Peter ‘Ali’ Cremer. He was one of the thre senior U-boat commanders to survive.
In May1941 the German battleship Bismarck, at the time the most formidable fighting ship afloat, escaped into the Atlantic. Her presence there posed a fearful threat to the convoys that kept Britain alive.
