About this listen
Time Out
It is autumn 1941 and a German U-boat commander and his crew set out on yet another hazardous patrol in the Battle of the Atlantic.
Over the coming weeks they must brave the stormy waters of the Atlantic in their mission to seek out and destroy British supply ships. But the tide is beginning to turn against the Germans in the war for the North Atlantic. Their targets now travel in convoys, fiercely guarded by Royal Navy destroyers, and when contact is finally made, the hunters rapidly become the hunted.
As the U-boat is forced to hide beneath the surface of the sea, a game of cat-and-mouse begins, where the increasing claustrophobia of the submarine becomes an enemy as frightening as the depth charges that explode around it. Of the 40,000 men who served on German submarines, 30,000 never returned.
Written by a survivor of the U-boat fleet, Das Boot is a psychological, military drama merciless in its intensity, and an epic rendering of the Second World War.©1973 Lothar Gunther Buchheim (P)2021 Orion Publishing Group

Excellent presentation of a great WWII novel.
Very good reading of this WWII classic. If you're interested in WWII naval warfare and the experiences of submarine crews, you'll love this.

Faulty audiobook
What i was able to hear represented only a small part of the whole and i could not access further. That part was a few hours of listening. What i heard was an authentic recounting of several days on a German U boat culminating in an attack. That was all so i am going to return this purchase. I can therefore only offer a low star rating for Overall and Story and average rating for performance.
