About the book: 2021 / “The Boat” is a book about war and about people at war. “The Boat” is a story about young men, practically boys, greedy for adventure, fooled by Nazi propaganda, and knowledgeable about technology. They defy nature, fighting an invisible enemy. Many do not yet have experience, many of them do not know despair and loneliness, they are not familiar with the horrors of war. In the hell of submarine warfare, the alternative is simple - either you won't get caught, or you'll be finished. There are no wounded people under water. Of the 40 thousand German submariners, 30,000 did not return home. Contents: 1. Submarine 2. Fortress (Translation: Vladimir Lakhmakov)3. Farewell (Translation: E. Strakhov)
