U-Boat 1936-45 (Type VIIA, B, C and Type VIIC/41): An insight into the design, construction and operation of the most feared German U-boat of World War 2 (Owners' Workshop Manual)

Shipping was secure and fast. Item was described accurately and came in safe and undamaged condition. The book is well laid out and give a lot of information. Seller did a good job presenting the item.

Am building a large model kit. Full of historical information and full of photos to be able to built it more accurately.

I purchased this expecting a ‘gag’ book, little expecting a solid reference work dealing with the boats, and the brave men who manned them. There’s plenty of photos and line drawings. My only issue is all measurements are in metric, which results in my manually converting that data into a useful figure. Otherwise, I would have rated it a SOLID five-star.

Absolutely amazing compilation of information and data on the ubiquitous Type VIIC Atlantic U-Boat. The HAYNES publishers have a real hit in this book! Despite its modest size, the scope of the book is impressive and it definitely belongs on everyone's 'U-boat reference shelf'. I found myself referring back to it frequently, despite having many other larger & more focused references on German submarine warfare in my library. Well worth getting a copy, not least because it includes a great number of beautiful photographic images of the surviving single example of the Type VIIC/41 left in existence as a museum boat (U-995, displayed at the German Naval Museum in Laboe)!

Blow-out drawings show U/boat assembly. Was enjoyed by reader, and good for reference, browsing, and rainy afternoons.

An outstanding book full of information on the Type VII U-boat illustrated with many great pictures. Plus it arrived early. Can't ask for anything more.

I am fascinated with the leaps Germany made in Submarine design and there are few books that graphically show the scale and how it was built. This is the best I have seen although one can always wish for more!
