Revolution Ended Hopes of Germany's Undersea Fighters
Berlin Feb 16 Commander Johannes Spiess, veteran of the German Navy, argues in his new book that Germany’s U-boats nearly won world freedom of the seas but a revolution shattered those hopes. He sternly criticizes the East, Western, and naval leadership for delaying unrestricted submarine warfare and for mutinies that toppled the fleet. He recounts encounters with the Deutschland and the failed attempt to sink the battleship Thüringen, blaming senior command for lost opportunity and misjudged strategy.
