Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Kriegsmarine's Schnellboote fast attack boats, or E-boats to the Allies, were the primary German naval attack units in coastal waters throughout the Second World War. Operating close to their various bases they became a devastatingly effective weapon in nearly all the Kriegsmarine's theatres of war, from the Baltic to the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. It was in the English Channel, however, that they scored their most notable successes, destroying some forty warships and more than one hundred merchant ships. In addition to interception and attack, they were also used for minelaying, landing sabotage troops and general escort duties. There had been, until this book was published, no comprehensive operational history of the S-boat service in all the theatres in which it saw service, but due to the relatively small number of units it is possible to recount the duties and fates of each individual craft and in this book the author examines the career of each in detail. In addition, operations alongside the commando units of the Kleinkampfverbande are covered. As the war progressed, S-boats suffered from the increased Allied mastery of the seas and skies but they were a formidable foe right to the end; this fine book was the first to do full justice to their record of success, and remains the foremost work on their operational history. AUTHOR: Lawrence Paterson has spent many years researching aspects of German naval operations and has written more than ten books on various aspects of Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe history, most recently Hitler's Forgotten Flotillas and a highly-acclaimed two-volume history of Luftwaffe maritime operations, Eagles over the Sea. He lives in Italy. 110 b/w photographs and 4 maps The history of fast attack craft is a perennial favourite amongst naval enthusiasts. New, affordable paperback edition. Large selection of rare photographs. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781399082280
