The product of fifteen years' research, here is the history of the camps to which captured Allied aircrew were sent in the early years of the war. Run by the Germany army, despite the Geneva Convention's decree that aircrew should be the responsibility of the Luftwaffe, their story has been neglected in the concentration on Stalag Luft III and VI in which aircrew officers were assembled from 1942 onwards. 4 maps. 32pp b/w photos. 296 pages.

Wolfpacks at War

Ian Allan Pub

The 7th U-Boat Flotilla - 'Wegener' - was formed in Kiel in June 1938 with six boats, only one of which survived operationally to the end of the war. Early war action from Kiel changed completely after the fall of France when the flotilla moved to St Nazaire, where it would remain until the Allied advances led its remaining boats to move to Norway.Some 114 boats saw service with the flotilla and most of them served in the North Atlantic where their operations almost brought Britain to its knees. The story of the flotilla starts with the story of the convoy predators; through the grim realities of the convoy system whose escorts benefited from Ultra decrypting of the Kriegsmarine's codes; the massacre of the U-boats attempting to halt the invasion of Europe; to the final coda as 14 boats escaped from St. Nazaire to Norway.Ian Westwell spent five years in the Royal Navy before becoming Curator of Weapons at the Royal Armouries.

The story of Enigma and the breaking of the seemingly impregnable German codes during World War 2 is a fascinating one. After World War 1, the German admirals were shocked to discover that the Royal Navy had penetrated their secret radio codes. Confronted with this fact, the postwar German navy determined that such a penetration would never occur again. Future codes were going to be so complex that breaking them would, theroetically, be impossible. The result was the famous and at that time highly secret Enigma machine. With it, the German authorities believed radio transmissions were wholly secure even if a captured machine fell into the wrong hands. German confidence was misplaced, however. During World War 2 Polish cryptanalysts helped Britain break into the Enigma system used by the German army and the Luftwaffe, but the naval version was more complicated. During the Battle of the Atlantic, U-boats operating in Wolf Packs wrought terrible destruction on the convoys bringing vital war supplies to Britain. to break the naval code, Britain desperately needed some U-boat Enigma machines as well as the code books to operate them. This book analyses the development of Enigma, its role during German U-boat operations and the subsequent code-breaking work at Bletchley Park. The book examines in detail all the U-boats known to have been boarded by the Allies during the war from which Enigma machines could have been captured.

Enigma U-Boats: Breaking the Code

Synonymous with such infamous battleships as the Bismarck, Scharnhorst and Tirpitz, the German Navy (or Reichsmarine) was renamed the Kriegsmarine in 1935, shortly after the emergence of the Nazi State, and went through a major re-organization in 1939. During World War II, it became a much-feared adversary both on and beneath the high seas, with its marauding U-boat wolf packs coming close to defeating Britain in the Battle of the Atlantic. The author of this text examines the different roles of the Fleet, and its organization and training activities during the war years. Incidents and operations are described, together with technical data for ships, U-boats and their weaponry. A guide to German Navy uniforms and insignia is included, together with full details of rank structure and specialist trades.

During the Second World War, the German Navy became a much feared adversary both on and beyond the high seas, with its marauding U-boat 'wolf-packs' coming close to defeating Britain in the Battle of the Atlantic. Here, Jack Mallmann-Showell examines the different roles of the Fleet, and its organization and training activities during the war years. Incidents and operations are also described, together with technical data for ships, U-boats and their weaponry. A useful guide to German Navy uniforms and insignia is included, together will full details of rank structure and specialist trades. Fully illustrated with photographs, maps and diagrams, this authoritative study of the formidable Kriegsmarine in the Second World War will appeal to anyone with an interest in the armed forces of the Third Reich.
