S-Boote Book Description
The Schnellbootwaffe was created in the early 1930's, concurrently with the regenerated Kriegsmarine. Following the fist series of S-Boote launched at that time came constantly improved vessels that won resounding victories for the Kriegsmarine at the beginning of the war. For the British they represented a real threat, not only to coastal commercial traffic, but also to the movements of Allied ships later on after D-Day.
