At the end of WWII, a number of German admirals held as prisoners of war were persuaded by British naval intelligence officials to write down their thoughts on Germany's build up to war, its early victories, and eventual defeat. Produced by a father-son team of naval historians, this volume places extracts from English translations of these memoirs within their historical context. The admirals' comments have been arranged into thematic chapters, each covering a particular aspect of the war at sea. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Die britische Marineaufklärung forderte bei Kriegsende deutsche Admirale in Kriegsgefangenschaft auf, ihre Erinnerungen niederzuschreiben. Die Ansichten der hochrangigen Befehlshaber erscheinen hier genau so, wie sie 1945 bzw. 1946 geäußert wurden – ein großer Vorzug gegenüber anderen, mit dem Abstand von Jahren abgelegten Zeugnissen.
