U-Boat Manual (1936-1945) - Type VIIA, B, C and Type VIIC/41) - An insight into the design, construction and operation (Haynes Maritime Manual)
The German Type VIIC U-boat, scourge of Allied shipping convoys during the Second World War, was the workhorse of the German U-boat force. With some 568 Type VIIs in use between 1940 and 1945 it was a potent fighting vessel that could hunt for long periods in the far reaches of the western and southern Atlantic.
Centrepiece of the Haynes U-boat Manual is the sole surviving example of a Type VIIC U-boat, U-995, which is on display at the German Naval Memorial near Kiel in northern Germany.

U-Boat Manual (1936-1945) - Type VIIA, B, C and Type VIIC/41) - An insight into the design, construction and operation
Over 10 million people have already visited the submarine U 995 in front of the naval memorial in Laboe. Built in September 1943, this boat has had an eventful history: from its use in the Atlantic and the North Sea, to its transfer to the Norwegian Navy after the end of the war, to its return to Germany at the end of the 1960s.
This is the richly illustrated documentation of its biography against the backdrop of the submarine war. In addition, this title has a detailed crew biography, unique underwater photos, many graphics and a fold-out map showing the whereabouts of all German submarines during the war.
