The array of objects includes important individuals and the major U-boat types, through to the uniforms and insignias the men wore. The weapons, equipment and technology used are explored, as are the conditions in which the U-boat crews served, from cooking facilities and general hygiene down to the crude toilet facilities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eImportantly, the enemy that they faced is also covered, examining the ship-borne and airborne anti-submarine weaponry used against the U-boats. The U-boats began the war, though few in number, more than a match for the Allies and created carnage amongst merchant shipping as well as sinking several major warships.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gordon Williamson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526759020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526759023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e US Naval Institute Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.80w x 0.80d","brand":"Gordon Williamson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43994562396415,"sku":"9781526759023","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ab3576ac-6dc2-40b1-8b07-897a2ffd73ae.jpg?v=1683330893","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/u-boats-at-war-in-100-gordon-williamson-9781526759023","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
