Year: 2003 Language: english Author: Gordon Williamson, Ian Palmer Genre: History Publisher: Osprey Publishing Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 67 Description: As World War II erupts in September 1939, the U-Boat showed it’s potential: penetrated Royal Navy Home Fleet anchorage at Scapa Flow, Scotland, sank the battleship HMS Royal Oak, and escaped with ease. Germany immediately took control of the avaliable port facilities in France and Norway. Prior to this, the distance to open sea from German ports in the Baltic limited U-Boat range, while vulnerability from air attacks was high. Few of the massive military structures built by Germany during World War II are as impressive as the U-Boat bases and bunkers in Germany, Norway and France. This book takes a close look at the buildings on the French coast (Brest, Lorient, St Nazaire, La Pallice, Bordeaux) in Norway (Bergen, Trondheim) and Germany (Keil, Hamburg, Helgoland) and also focuses on the huge 'Valentin' factory complex at Bremen, which manufactured the new type XXI electro-boats. Bunker protective systems, such as camouflage, light and heavy flak installations and nearby air cover, are also examined as well as resident flotillas and the fate of the bases at war's end.
