Book Review: Beneath Southern Seas: The Silent Service

The author's repeated attempts to rewrite German history between the lines were particularly irritating. Although he makes no apology in his preface for disagreeing with some modem historians or for trying to write the truth, statements that declare that Germany marched into Poland in 1939 simply to reoccupy the area which had been German territory until the end of World War I [208] are well outside universally accepted facts. A similar example is his opinion that Germany launched its invasion of Russia only because it was surprised to find in 1941 that the Soviet Union was preparing to attack the West. [77, 209] All in all, the book joins a long queue of publications on German U-boats that will certainly find its customers among generally interested readers but it should not be considered as a "must" read by those looking for scholarly pieces on the subject.
