My book also has an introduction written by the author that says:
"This book, which tells of my personal experiences in the German U-Boat force in World War II fulfills an obligation of long standing. Since the end of that destructive war, the role of the U-boat Force has at times been distorted and underestimated, even by military historians who should have known better. Because I was one of the few U-boat commanders who fought through most of the warand who managed to survive, I felt it was my duty to my fallen comrades to set the record straight."
