ISBN: 9780806127804.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book relates the life - and death - of the rebel German seaman who became one of the most successful U-boat commanders of World War II. In this carefully documented study, Timothy P. Mulligan tells the story of Werner Henke and the crew of U-515 in the Battle of the Atlantic, where they engaged in long-range \"lone wolf\" operations against Allied ships. The story of U-5l5 is closely correlated to the overall conduct of the U-boat war, including assessments of Karl Donitzs strategy, the influence of technological innovations, and the contributions of Allied signal intelligence. Henke sank twenty-four merchant vessels and two warships before U-515 itself was sunk and he and his crew captured by a U.S. task force in 1944. Fearing he would be turned over to the British and tried as a war criminal, Henke became the only U-boat captain killed in North America while trying to escape as a prisoner of war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"University of Oklahoma Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45119180931125,"sku":"ByrdShop_0806127805","price":29.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780806127804_126cfc21-3e39-4baf-8fd6-efdef1193fc7.jpg?v=1778851093","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/lone-wolf-the-life-and-death-of-uboat-ace-werner-henke-9780806127804","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
