| Entry Text: | FRANK, Wolfgang. Enemy Submarine: The Story of Günther Prien, Captain of U 47, written from Prien's diaries and from sailing with him in action. 200, [8]p., illus. London: Kimber, 1954.
Prien won early fame for his sinking of Royal Oak in Scapa Flow then built a successful record in the Battle of the Atlantic, until his U 47 was sunk in action on 8 March 1941. The book consists of translations of parts of two German books, the main one of which was published in 1942. To balance the wartime German view, passages from the British official history by Roskill are interspersed with the text. |
