An insight into the design, construction and operation of the feared World War 2 German Type VIIC U-boat. The German Type VIIC U-boat, scourge of Allied shipping convoys during the Second World War, was the workhorse of the German U-boat force. With some 568 Type VIIs in use between 1940 and 1945 it was a potent fighting vessel that could hunt for long periods in the far reaches of the western and southern Atlantic. Centerpiece of the Haynes U-boat Owners' Workshop Manual is the sole surviving example of a Type VIIC U-boat, U-995, which is on display at the German Naval Memorial near Kiel in northern Germany. Review: A superb reference on the German Type VIIC Atlantic U-boat! - Absolutely amazing compilation of information and data on the ubiquitous Type VIIC Atlantic U-Boat. The HAYNES publishers have a real hit in this book! Despite its modest size, the scope of the book is impressive and it definitely belongs on everyone's 'U-boat reference shelf'. I found myself referring back to it frequently, despite having many other larger & more focused references on German submarine warfare in my library. Well worth getting a copy, not least because it includes a great number of beautiful photographic images of the surviving single example of the Type VIIC/41 left in existence as a museum boat (U-995, displayed at the German Naval Museum in Laboe)! Review: Great Item in Excellent Condition - Shipping was secure and fast. Item was described accurately and came in safe and undamaged condition. The book is well laid out and give a lot of information. Seller did a good job presenting the item.

A historical fact on the subject matter.
Am building a large model kit. Full of historical information and full of photos to be able to built it more accurately.

Nice reference for construction.
Blow-out drawings show U/boat assembly. Was enjoyed by reader, and good for reference, browsing, and rainy afternoons.

Great Photos and Details
I am fascinated with the leaps Germany made in Submarine design and there are few books that graphically show the scale and how it was built. This is the best I have seen although one can always wish for more!

This book is a great title. It was my first book on u boats I owned and I gotta say it was a heavy hitter. I learned about the toilet. The quarters and u boat tactics 10/10 would recommend
