The Type VII U-boat (Anatomy of the Ship)

History

Conway Maritime Press Ltd.

The Type VII U-boat was the backbone of the fighting strength of Nazi Germany's U-boats at the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939. The first submarine sinking of the war was by a Type VII boat, and some of the most dramatic events of the first year of the war involved a Type VII - the sinking of HMS Courageous by U29 in the Atlantic in September 1939 and the sinking of HMS Royal Oak by U47 in Scapa Flow a few weeks later. The 'Anatomy of the Ship' series aims to provide the finest documentation of individual ships and ship types ever published. What makes the series unique is a complete set of superbly executed line drawings, both the conventional type of plan as well as explanatory views, with fully descriptive keys. These are supported by technical details and a record of the ship's service history.

This is the first full length publication on this subject to appear in English. It is the product of many years of research into the original German and Other sources. The first volume examines the High Command of the German Armed Forces , and the High Command of the German Army. Details are also provided of subordinate offices, branches and inspectorates, in order to give a comprehensive picture of the organization of the higher commands. This volume also gives details of the organization behind the Field Army - the Home Command, which was responsible for raising the recruits necessary for the Field Army, as well as equipping and training them for the field of battle. Volume I of the series examines the following establishments within the High command (OKW) the German Forces: 1. The High Command of the Armed Forces (Oberkommando der Wehrmacht/OKW) 2. The High Command of the German Army (Oberkommando des Heeres/OKHW) 3. The Home Command (Wehrkreise) The OKW commanded all the armed forces of the Third Reich, including (theoretically) SS. It was intended to be a composite and coherent joint forces command. There follows a description of the Military Commanders in the occupied territories. The critique which then follows expands upon the comments made above about the High Command of the Armed Forces, and looks at the relationships between Germany and her Allies during the period and should not be disregarded when looking at the operations of German Forces during the Second World War. It was written by a number of senior German officers immediately after the end of the war. The High Command of the German Army (OKH) was divided into the Field Headquarters and the Home Command. This first section deals with the Field Headquarters, and shows the complexity of this extremely large organisation, needed to run the army in the field. The Home Command (the Wehrkreise) This was where the German Army units were recruited, trained, supplied and equipped. The details given will show how each Wehrkreis had exactly the same organisation and the same responsibilities for the supply of men and provisions to the Field Army.

The common German infantryman played a crucial role in the events that led to the outbreak of World War II (1939-1945), and the burden of duty lay on his shoulders during the opening moves of the conflict, in the invasion of Poland, the conquest of Norway and Denmark, the Low Countries and France. The Wehrmacht was unstoppable in this period, as it defeated almost every country that took the field against it. This volume examines the recruitment, training, weapons and equipment of the German infantryman in the eventful years building up to and including Blitzkrieg. Weaponry, team roles, tactics, training and personal equipment are all covered.

In this second volume examining the German infantryman before and during World War 2, post-1941 training, weapons, equipment, combat experiences and medical care are examined. The 'faceless' German soldier who struggled through bitter fighting up to and including Stalingrad retains his identity both as a human being and as a vital part of the Wehrmacht's order of battle. Containing a full array of previously unpublished photographs taken by German soldiers during the invasion of Russia this book shows in superb detail daily life and duties, the soldiers themselves, and combat action.

German Infantryman (2) Eastern Front 1941–43 (Warrior, 76)

This third volume of a successful mini-series examines the German Infantryman in the latter part of World War II. Despite being constantly in retreat, often short of equipment, sometimes hungry, cold and wet, and the overwhelming numbers of Soviet troops and armour facing him, the German Infantryman's resistance was always fierce, and although constantly moving back towards Germany, his defensive withdrawals cost the Russians dearly. During this period defensive tactics involved close artillery and tank cooperation, even at small unit level. Containing previously unpublished photographs and poignant first hand accounts, this book explores in superb detail daily life, duties and combat action.

German Infantryman (3) Eastern Front 1943–45 (Warrior, 93)

The German Army organisation down to Corps level 1939-1945. Includes divisions within Corps. Complete presentation of the higher echelon of the German Army.
