The 7th U-Boat Flotilla - 'Wegener' - was formed in Kiel in June 1938 with six boats, only one of which survived operationally to the end of the war. Early war action from Kiel changed completely after the fall of France when the flotilla moved to St Nazaire, where it would remain until the Allied advances led its remaining boats to move to Norway.
Some 114 boats saw service with the flotilla and most of them served in the North Atlantic where their operations almost brought Britain to its knees. The story of the flotilla starts with the story of the convoy predators; through the grim realities of the convoy system whose escorts benefited from Ultra decrypting of the Kriegsmarine's codes; the massacre of the U-boats attempting to halt the invasion of Europe; to the final coda as 14 boats escaped from St. Nazaire to Norway.
Ian Westwell spent five years in the Royal Navy before becoming Curator of Weapons at the Royal Armouries. After a spell as a marine archaeologist he became Chief Curator at the Mel Fisher Maritime Museum in Key West. He moved back to England to write full time in 2001.
This series looks at the cutting edge of war, and deals with units capable of operating independently in the forefront of battle. Each volume examines the chosen unit's origins and history, its organisation and order of battle, its battle history theatre by theatre, its insignia and its markings.

Condición: Muy bueno. : Este libro narra la historia de la 7ª Flotilla de U-Boats, también conocida como 'Wegener', que se formó en Kiel en junio de 1938 con seis submarinos. De estos, solo uno sobrevivió operativamente hasta el final de la guerra. La acción inicial de la guerra desde Kiel cambió por completo tras la caída de Francia, cuando la flotilla se trasladó a St Nazaire, donde permaneció hasta que los avances aliados llevaron a los submarinos restantes a Noruega. Unos 114 submarinos prestaron servicio en la flotilla, la mayoría de ellos en el Atlántico Norte, donde sus operaciones casi pusieron de rodillas a Gran Bretaña. La historia de la flotilla comienza con la historia de los depredadores de convoyes, pasando por las sombrías realidades del sistema de convoyes cuyos escoltas se beneficiaron del descifrado Ultra de los códigos de la Kriegsmarine, la masacre de los U-boats que intentaban detener la invasión de Europa, hasta la coda final cuando 14 submarinos escaparon de St. Nazaire a Noruega.
