DESCRIPTION - Günther Prien was a highly decorated German U-boat commander during World War II. Under Prien's command, the submarine U-47 was credited with sinking over 30 Allied ships totaling about 200,000 gross register tons (GRT), along with the British battleship HMS Royal Oak at anchor in the Home Fleet's anchorage in Scapa Flow. This book has been written from Prien's diaries and the memories of those who served with him.
