EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photographic survey by renowned maritime historian G. H. Davis, showcasing the evolution of German submarine warfare during the Second World War. This evocative image transports us back in time to the tumultuous years of 1939-1945, when the U-boat became a formidable weapon in the never-ending battle between the Allied and Axis naval forces. The photograph opens with a map, outlining the extensive routes and strategic locations of U-boat operations. The early days of the war are depicted in the top left corner, with surface action dominating the scene. Enemy crews are shown being relentlessly driven below the surface, first by day and then by night, as the U-boats adapted to the changing tactical landscape. The center of the image highlights the introduction of the Schnorkel U-boat, a groundbreaking innovation that allowed the submarines to recharge their batteries while submerged, extending their operational capabilities and range. This game-changing technology revolutionized U-boat warfare, enabling them to operate more effectively in the open Atlantic and inflict significant damage on Allied shipping. The bottom right corner of the photograph illustrates the devastating impact of U-boat warfare, with sinking ships and their cargo scattered across the sea. The haunting image serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of this brutal conflict and the relentless struggle for naval supremacy during the Second World War. G. H. Davis' "U-boat Warfare 1939-1945" is an essential historical record of this pivotal period in maritime history, providing a unique and captivating perspective on the development and tactics of the German U-boat fleet. This photograph is not only a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the men who fought in this never-ending battle but also a powerful reminder of the enduring legacy of the U-boat in the annals of naval warfare.
