Here is the long-awaited second issue of  U-Boot im Focus.

As with the initial volume,  UIF #2 is in the large A4 format which allows for some superb and large photographs, something that is important when dealing with ships of all types as they tend to be long and skinny! There are sections on boat types, conning towers, combat actions, personalities, the popular 'pictures with a story' section, camouflage and a lot more. This is additionally enhanced with color illustrations throughout the book.

Some of the articles you may enjoy are Black Sea operations, an attack on convoy HX 228, and the sinking of the HMS Eagle.

Like the earlier LIF books, this one is dual English/German and contains not only some rare period color photos, but a lot of previously unpublished images from a number of sources. There is delight in every page, making this book one that you simply have to get.
