Chowdhury, Bernie THE LAST DIVE: A Father and Son's Fatal Descent into the Ocean's Depths Harper Collins 2000

Chris and Chrissy Rouse, an experienced father-and-son scuba diving team, hoped to achieve widespread recognition for their outstanding but controversial diving skills. Obsessed and ambitious, they sought to uncover the secrets of a mysterious, undocumented World War II German U-boat that lay under 230 of water, only a half-day's mission from New York Harbor. In doing so, they paid the ultimate price for their quest for fame. Bernie Chowdhury, an expert diver himself and a close friend of the Rouses, explores the thrill-seeking world of deep sea diving, including its legendary figures, most celebrated triumphs, and gruesome tragedies. By examining the divers' psychology through the complex father-and-son dynamic, Chowdhury illuminates the extreme sport diver's push toward- and sometimes beyond- the limits of human endurance.

Furbringer, Werner FIPS: Legendary U-Boat Commander 1915-1918 USNI 1999

In a desperate attempt to blockade Britain into surrender during World War I, the U-boat arm of the Imperial German Navy attacked and sank any allied vessel-from troop transport to fishing boat-found along the British and French coastlines. Werner "Fips" Furbringer was one of these U-boats' most successful commanders, and he recounts his true-life adventures with the epic sweep of a skilled novelist. From his early assignment on board the submarine that sank the Lusitania in 1915 to his three years as a commanding officer, Fips shows how with skill, daring, and sheer luck he overcame the dangers of mine fields, searchlight barriers, Q-ships, and armed light houses. His controversial capture and his life as a British prisoner-of-war completes the valiant story. Available in English for the first time, this classic German memoir vividly depicts an experience that few survived ! to tell. A brave officer who inspired fierce loyalty in his crews, Fips was a decent man who adhered to an archaic code of chivalry as this frank and eminently readable work clearly indicates. Werner Furbringer re-entered the German Navy in 1939 as the U-boat senior planning officer. He retired with the rank of Konteradmiral in 1943. Photos, map, index, 146 pages. 1st NEW condition. $25

SILENT HUNTERS: German U-boat Commanders of WWII WW2 WW11Savas, Theodore P. (editor) SILENT HUNTERS: German U-boat Commanders of WWII Savas 1997

As editor, Theodore Savas has enlisted authors who are scholars in the field and recognized authorities on the German U-boat war. The criteria he used for selection of the subject officer was, "to choose a U-boat commander who has not received the scholarly treatment he deserves, one who either accomplished his record incrementally during several patrols or someone whose experiences were somehow unique and worthy of study." Each of the six essays focus on a single commander; Merten, Guggenberger, Eck, Oerhn, Kapitsky, and Endrass. Editor's preface, acknowledgements, introduction, photos, maps, diagrams, notes, index, 215 pages.
The first chapter, by the well known World War Two U-Boat ace Erich Topp, is titled "Castor Mourns Pollox." He reflects, "I wrote these pages in the lonely wastes of the Atlantic when all hope had vanished that Engelbert Endrass might return alive from his last patrol." This article has not been previously published and was written by Erich Topp, commander of U-552 the "Red Devil U-boat", over 50 years ago while on his 15th war patrol about the recent loss of his best friend Endrass.
Erich Topp, the Captain of U-552, the During the Celebrate History event in San Francisco February 1998 I met with editor Theodore Savas and Erich Topp. By arrangement with Mr. Savas, Erich Topp graciously agreed to sign his photo in the book Silent Hunters for TORPEDO JUNCTION.

Showell, Jak P. Mallmann U-BOATS AT WAR: Landings on Hostile Shores USNI 2000

For much of World War II, Germany's most threatening maritime force was the U-boat arm. Their deadly attacks on Allied supply lines are well documented, but they also carried out numerous clandestine operations, landing in neutral countries such as Ireland and Spain, and along the U.S. and Canadian shorelines to conduct espionage and sabotage. North African landings aided Rommel's Afrika Korps. In this fascinating book, U-boat historian Jak Mallmann-Showell has gathered together a collection of firsthand accounts and remarkable photographs--many of them previously unpublished--showing how these landings were executed.

White, John F. U BOAT TANKERS 1941-45: Submarine Suppliers to Atlantic Wolf Packs Airlife 1998

Forced by the need to refuel a large U-boat fleet in oceans mainly controlled by Allied forces during World War II, Germany became the only nation ever to operate submarines as tankers. Known as "milk cows," these submarine tankers, which could not be detected once submerged at their secret refueling rendezvous, gave the U-boats the ability to double or triple their time in a patrol area. They came to be regarded as the most important units of the U-boat fleet. This volume provides many insights into the German Navy's conduct of submarine war and the Allied response. Where a choice existed between U-boat targets, Allied forces had explicit orders to attack the tankers first.
