U-Boat Crews 1914-45: No.60 (Elite) Paperback – 16 Oct. 1995

by Gordon Williamson (Author), Darko Pavlovic (Illustrator)
4.5 out of 5 stars 22 ratings
If one single weapon in Germany's arsenal can be said to have come closest to winning the war for the Third Reich, it was without doubt the U-Boat. German U-Boat technology, training, tactics and combat successes far exceeded those of any of the other combatant nations, and even as the Third Reich was crumbling, technically advanced vessels such as the Type XXI, many years ahead of its time, were being put into volume production. Gordon Williamson provides a fascinating overview of the achievements of the U-Boat Waffe in both wars, together with a study of the uniforms and insignia worn by U-Boat crews.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice book
    Reviewed in the United States on 12 July 2020

    Most of the book is about the uniforms they wore on U boats. German U boats sank ships off Long Island during WW1 and WW2 , 3 U boats were sunk off Long Island and 2 German U boat Sailors stood on Amagansett Beach Long Island during Operation Pastorious with Submachine guns in June 1942. There were 3 Sailors , 3 spies( one was dressed in civilian cloths) and a U Boat officer in full uniform on the beach. Nice having a book like this that shows the uniforms they wore.

    A good general overview of UBoat crews history and uniforms. I assume well reseached and interesting. As with most Osprey books for they are a little short so they are restricted to the actual amount of content. A good modeling resource book.

    The passage of time along with the lack of living veterans of this type of war fair limits the authors ability to give a truly compelling account
