S-Boote: German E-Boats in Action (1939-1945)

Rating:
Summary: Great Photo Book
Review: Another great large format photo book from "Histoire & Collections". Hundreds of quality photos supplemented with many two page artist color renderings of different S/E boat types and Flotilla insignia. Included are many photos of crew members showing uniforms and personal equipment. The text covers construction, history, types, tactics and personnel. A must for the hobbiest and those interested in the Kriegsmarine.

Summary: Absolutely beautiful. Astonishing.
Review: This book is one of the few that deals with the German Schnell-Bootes - a small but ferocious and important corps.
The Schnell-Bootes, or in English: E-Boats, were the fastest ships on the sea, using special scientific advances. They were the scourge of British coastal convoys. This book is also recent so the author has included the Lyme Bay attack, which nearly averted D-Day, and thus could have change the war.
The text is short and to the point, all important aspects covered. The photos are just stunning!
