Ten Years and Twenty Days.
Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz, Flag Officer U-boats, Commander-in-Chief of the German Navy, and in the final days of the Third Reich Hitler's appointed successor as Fuehrer, had come close to winning the war for Germany with his brilliant wolf-pack tactics in the Battle of the Atlantic in 1942. He was an honourable military leader, and loyal to the Nazi regime.
Sentenced to ten years imprisonment at the Nuremberg Trials, he wrote these remarkable Memoirs on his release, recording in his clear, firm and fluent style how he had planned and executed the U-boat campaign and how he saw and interpreted the wider German military and political conduct of the war. His book offers a rare personal insight into the heart of the Third Reich.
