| Opplysninger | This text provides a complete examination of the sinking or disappearance of all 203 U-boats lost between 1914 and 1918, including as it does individual narratives of the men who survived their boat's sinking. Several made difficult escapes from sunken wrecks, one man just as his submarine plunged past the 100ft mark, while others were on deck or atop the conning tower when their boat went under. In the case of boats listed as 'verschollen' (lost without trace), the author includes explanations given for what might have happened or, in the case of conflicting evidence, analyses the explanations for accuracy. Each entry for a U-boat is a narrative that stands alone, allowing readers to easily focus on a single submarine. The approximate location of each boat's sinking is also given, with maps.
