Der Kapitan

Hans Rose was one of Germany's most successful WWI U-boat aces, and her most successful ace during the convoy period when attacks by U-boats were most difficult and dangerous. Acknowledging his chivalry, Admiral Sims USN declared 'Allied naval officers would be willing today to shake [his] hand.'This book is the only time the Rose family has agreed to make Hans Rose s personal papers available to any researcher or biographer. The authors present new information from the Krupp archives and naval archives in Britain, US, and Germany.
