U-Boat Knight's Cross Winners book -- SIGNED -- Brand New

Description

Book Description:
Knights of the Deep
Never in recorded history has the world known naval battles of the magnitude of those fought during the Second World War. Hundreds of thousands from all nations lost their lives, both on the high seas, as well as beneath the waves. Since then, the exploits of submariners have become the subject of both film and legend. But what were these men really like, and what become of those that survived mankind's greatest conflict? Over 40,000 men served in the German U-Boat forces from 1939-45. Of these, only 145 exceptional individuals were awarded their nation's highest military honor, the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. Although some survived the horrors of war, many did not. These are their stories.
Brief two page biographies of each Knight's Cross holder are included, including a list of promotions, decorations, etc.
