Though he entered combat late in May 1942, Carl Emmermann sank twenty-six Allied ships in only four combat patrols while commanding U-172, becoming the thirteenth most successful U-boat commander of the war. U-172, a Type IXC U-boat, saw non-stop action throughout the Atlantic, during its four patrols under Emmermann. U-172’s third patrol to Cape Town would be its longest with 131 days at sea, where it added eight vessels to its list of successes in this sector; the first sinkings in this area for the U-boat service. On its sixth patrol under a different commander, U-172 would later be sunk in December 1943. Awarded the Knight’s Cross with Oak Leaves in 1944, Emmermann was ordered at St. Nazaire, France, to command the Kriegsmarine’s 6th U-boat Flotilla. Later in Germany, he became the new sub-specialist for the Type XXIII U-boat, and in the last months of the war, commanded a marine battalion in defense of Hamburg. This biography details all WWII patrols by U-172 and features over 230 images and maps. 虽然他在1942年5月底参加了战斗,卡尔 · 艾默曼在指挥 u-172时,仅四次作战巡逻就击沉了26艘盟军舰艇,成为第13位最成功的 u 型潜艇指挥官。U-172是一种类型的 u 型潜艇,在艾默曼指挥下的四次巡逻中,在大西洋上进行了不间断的行动。U-172到开普敦的第三次巡逻将是最长的一次,海上巡逻时间为131天,在这个区域又增加了8艘战舰,这也是 u 型潜艇服务在这个区域的第一次失败。在另一个指挥官的第六次巡逻中 u-172后来在1943年12月被击沉。1944年被授予橡树叶骑士十字勋章,艾默曼被命令在法国圣纳泽尔,指挥克里格斯马林的第6艘 u 型潜艇舰队。后来在德国,他成为了23号 u 型潜艇的副专家,在战争的最后几个月,指挥了一个海军陆战队营,保卫汉堡。这本传记详细介绍了 u-172所有的二战巡逻队,有超过230张照片和地图。 基本信息 出版社 : Schiffer Military History; 第 1st 版 (2018年9月28日) 语言 : 英语 精装 : 80页 ISBN-10 : 076435566X ISBN-13 : 978-0764355660 商品重量 : 907 g 尺寸 : 23.62 x 1.27 x 31.24 cm
