Descripton: The book gives the German view of the British attacks/raids on the harbours of Zeebrugge and Oostende on St.-George's Day 1918, in which an attempt was made to block both German U-boat harbours. Oostende was a complete failure, Zeebrugge was partially a success but did not keep the German U-boats imprisoned as always has been told. The book is partially fiction as it uses a fictional person to tell the story but gives a very good description of what really happened. Of course due to the period of publishing some nationalistic talk is never really far away.
