Österreichisch-ungarische Unterseeboote - und ihre Werften 1906-1918

At the turn of the century, the naval power Austria-Hungary also had no choice but to acquire submarines, although leading naval circles in Vienna were initially anything but enthusiastic about the new weapon.

In this volume, Wilhelm M. Donko describes the entire history of the creation and production of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy's submarine fleet. He not only presents all of the Austro-Hungarian submarines with their missions and successes, but also the strategic cooperation with the Imperial German Navy in the Mediterranean, whose boats operated over long distances under the red-white-red flag and achieved spectacular successes.
