This is the amazing story of legendary WWII U-boat commander; and Knight's Cross recipient; Peter Cremer. Cremer was appointed commander of U-333; a type VIIC submarine with a close-knit crew. During his first North Atlantic patrol the U-333 sank three ships; unfortunately; his third victim was actually a German blockade-runner. Cremer was acquitted before a court martial. During his second patrol; the U-333 was rammed by an Allied tanker before reaching American shores. His later patrols were equally amazing. In April 1945; Cremer was ordered to take command of a panzer unit; Marine-Panzer-Vernichtungsbataillon; that was credited with destroying twenty-four tanks! Cremer ended the war as head of Grossadmiral Dönitz’s security battalion. This biography details all WWII patrols by U-333 and features over 200 images and maps.

Review
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Comprehensive Piece of WorkBy Randall TrippThis text on the Ju-388 is excellent in detail and technically complete. Without going into the secondary reasons why; the writers discuss in detail the stringent design requirements; the attempts to implement edge of technology concepts; the shortcomings of the quality in both material and labor force which lead to every delay experienced in the aircraft's development. Also covered are the objective affects of Allied bombing of the various production and testing facilities. A great read for anyone interested in cutting edge WWII aircraft.3 of 4 people found the following review helpful.
