U-700 Tapa dura - 1979

London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1979. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. The story of U-700 - the submarine that lost its nerve - is one of the most incredible of WWII. Previously unheard of, the surrender of a German U-Boat provided the Royal Navy with vital secrets on Germany's magnetic warheads and boosted British morale. For Bernhard Berndt, the insecure young officer who found himself held responsible for the catastrophe, it was the start of a nightmare of fear and persecution by his comrades in a British POW camp. This is the intriguing story of exactly what went on behind the scenes on both sides, and of one man's solitary struggle to redeem himself in the face of hopeless odds. A fascinating read for naval historians and/or submarine enthusiasts. Contains 205 pages, 22 x 14cm. Red cloth boards in illustrated dust jacket showing very slight wear to top edges, otherwise in good condition. Internally, good: clean and unmarked in excellent bindings.
