Der Kapitan: U-Boat Ace Hans Rose

Review 'It is not often that we are offered insight into the thoughts and feelings of a German officer after WWII. This biography peers into Rose's mind to show what it means to be "the enemy" in an occupied country. A truly spellbinding read.'--Tore Pettersen, Norwegian Civil Defence Officer Rtd'The authors have compiled a remarkably detailed portrait of Hans Rose's life and character, which is outstanding for the quality of its research and presentation of its results.'--Peter Monte, Captain German Navy Rtd'The description almost had me tasting salt water and smelling the burning oil -vivid and detailed writing that took someone who has served on the seas back to what must have been horrendous times.'--Alan Walker, RN Antisubmarine Service Rtd'This meticulously researched, carefully documented and lively biography examines German WWI submarine operations through the eyes of Hans Rose ...not only conveying a visceral sense of life aboard a wartime submarine, but showing the evolution of submarine warfare. Later chapters provide a window into the dilemmas confronting professional German military officers as their nation spiralled into the abyss of Nazism. The authors present a balanced and complete portrait of this complex individual.'--Donald Chisholm, US Naval War College About the Author
