The author of the memoirs, Hans Jacob Goebeler, served as a second-class motorman on the German submarine U-505 during World War II. With German thoroughness and accuracy, Goebeler made notes about the design of the submarine, about his service, about the life of the crew in the limited space of the submarine, about the performance of combat missions and everyday problems that the sailors had to solve. The author vividly, brightly and in detail describes the campaigns in the Atlantic and the Caribbean, talks about his comrades in arms and evaluates the commanders, bitterly noting that sometimes the crew had to fight four enemies: the sea, the British, damage to equipment and their own officers. Hans Goebeler worked on his memoirs for ten years and completed them with the help of journalist, professor of Bainbridge University John Vanzo. The book is supplied with maps showing the path traveled by the submarine U-505.
