TEDDY SUHREN ACE OF ACES: Memoirs of a U-Boat Rebel

Reinhard ‘Teddyy’ Suhren fired more successful torpedo shots than any other man during the war, and fought in waters as far apart as the Indian Ocean and the eastern seaboard of the United States.He was also the U-boat service’s most irreverent and rebellious commander, and this combination made him a legend within the U-boat world.Valued for his good humour and leadership, Suhren was frequently in trouble with higher authority, and his lack of military bearing was a constant source of friction.Significantly, the German title of his published reminiscences, Nasses Eichenlaub, implied that though he was decorated with the Oak Leaves, he was always in hot water.This translation for the first time brings to an English language readership a forthright and unconventional memoir, a thrilling wartime narrative, and a fascinating insider’s view of the workings of Hitler’s navy.
