We have amassed a great many top-secret files over the years and we had promised not to release any of these files for twenty-five years. That quarter century has passed, and we are now able to open them for all to learn. In this, our sixth volume, you will read about many previously unknown secret activities, but the most important - the plans made in 1943 to evacuate Adolf Hitler, as the hierarchy of the 3rd Reich were, by mid-1943, fully aware that Germany would lose the war. We report more on the post war "Black Boats", German Navy bases still operating well after the end of the war and much more from secret files. We also report on how much money went to banks in Argentina and how it was transferred there. These files have been compiled by actual agents and spies, and released specifically to Sharkhunters.

Japanese Giant I.400, visit with Erich Topp, Soviet Submarine S.56, Hans-Georg Hess (Youngest Skipper), visit with Jürgen Oesten, the Awesome USS BARB and many more stories. These are all Memories of the warriors who made World War Two history.
"U-Boat War in Photos" volume 1 (U-1 through U-29) The Battle of the Atlantic was the longest continuously running battle in the history of war. The German U-Bootfahrer were some of the most honorable fighters in the war despite wartime propaganda to the contrary. They did not machine gun men in the water but rather, they helped struggling survivors of the sunken ships in the early years. After 'Black May' of 1943 when the German codes were broken and 'Huff-Duff' (or High Frequency Directional Finder = HFDF) came on the scene and U-Boats did not dare linger on the surface did the U-Boats cease giving aid; they never murdered men at sea. Nearly 3,000 ships were sunk, tens of thousand merchant sailors died, more than 800 U-Boats were lost and nearly 29,000 U-Bootfahrer perished in the cold oceans of the world. At the end of the war however, the U-Bootwaffe was the only oversubscribed branch of the Wehrmacht (German military forces). After 'Black May' U-Boats had one chance in ten of returning from their first Feindfahrt (war patrol) and nine out of ten chances of being sunk. Still they enlisted.....still they went to sea, most never to return.
Each chapter is a separate memory of a veteran of the Battle of the Atlantic, the longest continual battle in history. These veterans of the U-Boats remember how it was with comments from veterans of the Royal Navy and the US Navy. First person memories are the best history there is.
Here is the story of Japanese-German cooperation, post-war U-Boat sightings off Argentina, How U-124 became the Edelweißboot, the saga of U-234, from Waffen SS to Foreign Legion, the Shame of U-534, a Bit about U-505, Eyewitness to Hitler's Suicide, the Galloping Ghost of the Japanese Coast.....USS TRIGGER, loss of the liner WILHELM GUSTLOFF and more U-Boat history directly from the men who lived it. These are all memories of the men who fought the war sea; first person history.
These are the stories from the men of the U-Bootwaffe. "U-BOAT!" (Vol VI) continues the fascinating saga of the German U-Bootwaffe in World War Two as well as some stories from the American side including the shameful story of Eisenhower's Starvation Camps. These stories come directly from the memories of the men who fought in the greatest of all conflicts and there is not better or more accurate history than that which comes directly from the warriors who made this history. This book is their story and is an expansion of our "U-BOAT"! history. Come with us on a journey into the greatest conflict the world has ever known. In this volume we read the battle history of U-161; Riding the WILD GOOSE; U-Boats that surrendered; Six Days in a German U-Boat; Japanese-German cooperation and much more.

In books like this, we attempt to reveal the real truths behind the propaganda we have been taught over the decades. So much of the published history is incorrect or blatantly false, either by error or by design. In the volumes of this book, we rip away the curtain of false information and reveal true history, direct from those who were there. We promised our sources that we would keep these files and stories locked up for 25 years. That time has passed and we now open the books for all.
Private snapshots taken by German soldiers as the went through training then deployment into Norway. Photos of the family back in Germany; photos of the scenery as they moved forward, scenes of battle and scenes of funeral processions. These photos are all shot by foot soldiers in the war.
Germany was destroyed, devastated, broken and helpless under the victorious Allied powers after World War One. The ill-conceived Treaty of Versailles had a boot on the German throat. They were allowed a small defensive military not to exceed 100,000 troops and no more than 800 officers. Above all, Germany was not permitted any U-Boats of any kind. How was it then, that as early as 1936 when German U-Boats first went into combat, that they had the most advanced submarines at sea? Further, when World War Two began on 1 September 1939, they had even more units and more advanced submarines than any other navy? While it is true that the U-Bootwaffe had far too few U-Boats on 1 Sept. 1939, they had the most advanced submarines of the time. This book explains the secret planning of the new U-Bootwaffe, the mid-war changes anticipated and requested by Karl Dönitz and it gives his analysis in 1946 why the war went like it did.
Photo history of the First Greater Germany Military Gathering in Kassel 1939. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, sailors and airmen came from all over the Reich for this first celebration.
This is the continuation of our series of the U-Boat War in Photos with many photos of the U-Boats, the Skippers, their victims, the hunters and every kind of photo we could find to the give the reader the most thorough, most comprehensive look into the history of the German U-Bootwaffe of the Kriegsmarine. As we have reported in our previous book (Volume I) of this series, as well as, our other books on the U-Bootwaffe (U-Boat! Volumes 1-10, so far) there is a tremendous tribute to the U-Bootfahrer to their honor and chivalry in battle. We have been incredibly fortunate over the three and a half decades since we founded Sharkhunters, that we have met and become close friends with so many of the Skippers, officers, and crewmen. It would be impossible to list them all, but I had a sleeping room in the house of Otto Kretschmer, visited so many times with Erich Topp, Reinhard Hardegen, Horst von Schroeter, Rolf Thomsen, and my best friend in Germany, Hans-Georg Hess. They freely and unselfishly gave us their memories and history of the U-Boat War and in turn, we gave our word to tell their history honestly and without false wartime propaganda.
Histories of the U-Boats types that were not manufactured in large numbers; including Skipper's names, conning tower emblems, photos and data not available anywhere else.
