In March 1943, a rusty cargo ship was torpedoed and sunk off the Azores on the way back to Germany from the Far East. The survivors naturally assumed that they had fallen victim to an allied submarine, but they were wrong… U-boat commander Hans-Joachim Schwantke had an unlucky war. Desperate to open his score and assuming the Doggerbank was an allied ship, he sent her to the bottom of the sea and turned away all survivors. Suddenly aware he may have made a tragic mistake, the commander was distressed and keen to hide the evidence. But the evidence remained in the form of one man. Of the 365 men onboard the Doggerbank, only one man survived the sinking ship. Fritz Kuert was to survive to tell his tale. Thanks to the research of Hans Herlin, the amazing story of Kuert's survival and journey across the Atlantic allows for the true story of the Doggerbank to be told. — This hardcover historical nonfiction is in very good condition with only a slight tear on the dust jacket.
