German naval officer Rolf Mützelburg was one of the outstanding figures of the WWII German U-boat arm. After obtaining regular successes against the North Atlantic convoys during his first four missions, he found new victims directly along the shores of Canada. Mützelburg received the highest decorations of the period and became one of the top U-boat aces. Furthermore, he shared with Adalbert Schnee, Teddy Suhren, and Erich Topp, the rare privilege of being affectionately nicknamed by Admiral Dönitz as “The Four Aces.” The discovery of a photo album from a U-203 crew member, complemented by images sourced at the U-Boat Archive at Cuxhaven, allows us to illustrate the astonishing history of this U-boat with 240 photographs and documents. The eleven combat missions of U-203 are precisely described thanks to numerous maps and sketches and the complete translation of its logbook.

We were disappointed because we expected a story. This is not a story, but a coffee table book. It does have awesome pictures, which we have enjoyed, and for which I gave it 3 stars.

Falsche Deklaration
Das Buch hat, wie die anderen Bücher über U-Boot Kommandanten von Luc Braeuer, sehr viele sehenswerte Photos. Generell macht es Spass, es sich anzuschauen. Aber dieses Buch hat absolut nicht den gleichen Standard wie die anderen Bücher. Die Feindfahrten sind nicht detailliert beschrieben, angeblich weil das KTB schwer leserlich ist. Und die englische Fassung ist so schlecht und laienhaft aus dem Französischen übersetzt, dass man oft nur lachen kann. Schade. Daher gebe ich max. 2 Sterne.

Buen libro pero mala traduccion.
El libro esta muy bien, pero para mi la traduccion deja algo que desear. Creo que el que se defienda un poco en frances es mejor que lo compre en esa lengua.

German U Boat Ace Adalbert Schnee
Opera davvero superba con un apparato iconografico davvero superbo, da non perdere. Un'opera che non può' mancare nello scaffale militare di un appassionato.

This is a fascinating study following the combat patrols of U-203 and her crew, in particular her Eichenlaubträger Kommandeur Rolf Mützelburg. Although only 96 pages in length this large format book contains 240 photographs and documents. Most of which you won't have seen before (and how often can we say that about a u-boat book?). Originally published in French, some of the translation is a little off but that's a minor quibble when you consider the story and photographs following the U-boat and crew of U-203.
