Grey Wolf, Grey Sea...

This is the story of the German submarine U-124 and her celebrated commander, Kapitanleutnant Jochen Mohr. In her short life, Mohr's U-124 sank 49 ships for a total of 226,949 tons to become the third most successful of all the hundreds of Axis and Allied submarines which fought in World War II.

With 8 Pages of Photographs

Book Description

With "you are there" realism and total authenticity, Grey Wolf, Grey Sea takes the reader aboard the German U-Boat 124 in World War II.

From the day of her commissioning to the day when a British escort destroyer sank her, this is a story of daily life in the cramped and complicated quarters of a submarine, of the crewmen and officers who made U-124 one of the most effective and famous of all subs to see action on either side and of the excitement and the terror of the perilous war undersea.

Based on official German records and the vivid recollections of those who served on U-124 and survived Grey Wolf, Grey Sea is as close a picture as we will ever have of the men who fought and died in the German U-Boat service.
