14.99 €
The only thing available 2
Trap ships were a unique weapon against German submarines, which launched an unrestricted war on Allied merchant shipping during the First World War. The fateful encounter of the submarine U-41 under the command of Otto Herzing with one of the most successful trap ships "Baralong" is told by the miraculously survived watch officer A. Crompton. For propaganda or political reasons, the real effectiveness of the new anti-submarine method was distorted by the opposing sides. Exaggerated results of their hunt in the reports of British commanders, as well as the unknown fate of many submarines that did not return to their bases, further confused the situation. The present edition is supplemented by a historical essay by N. Timoshenko, updating the role of trap ships in the World War on the basis of recent underwater research and published archival data. For a wide range of readers.
