During the Second World War, German submarines often landed on threatening shores for operational reasons. For example, landings took place on the coasts of states such as Ireland, Spain and the USA for espionage reasons, but also on the North African coast in support of Rommel's Afrika Korps. Mallmann-Showell documents many of these difficult and special submarine missions. He discusses submarine bases and bunker facilities that he visited in Germany, France and Norway, shows their strategic importance and explains how and why these facilities were built.
