His \"wolfpack\" tactics resulted in a handful of U-boats sinking 14.5 million tons and nearly deciding the Battle of the Atlantic. Sentenced to ten years at the Nuremberg Trials, Doenitz wrote his memoirs upon his release. In a clear firm style he discusses the planning and execution of the U-boat campaign; the controversial sinking of the Laconia; America's \"neutrality\" before its entry into the war; the Normandy invasion; the July 1944 bomb plot; his encounters with Raeder, Göring, Speer, Himmler, and Hitler; as well as his own brief tenure as the last Führer. Doenitz's invaluable work allows the reader to view the war at sea through the periscope's eye.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43316551712842,"sku":"6287n","price":17.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/6287n.jpg?v=1771212906","url":"https:\/\/www.bookexpress.nz\/products\/memoirs-ten-years-and-twenty-days-by-karl-doenitz","provider":"Book Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
