{"product_id":"memoirs-ten-years-and-twenty-days","title":"Memoirs: Ten Years and Twenty Days","description":"1990 reissue of the 1959 English translation, with a new introduction and afterword by Jurgen Rohwer. The memoirs of Nazi Admiral Karl Doenitz and his involvement with the German U-boat campaigns. \"Commander of the U-boat fleet, Supreme Naval Commander, and finally Hitler's successor in the last days of the Third Reich, Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz (1891-1980) has been condemned as a Nazi and praised as one of the most brilliant and honorable military leaders of the war. His \"wolfpack\" tactics resulted in a handful of U-boats sinking 14.5 million tons and nearly deciding the Battle of the Atlantic. Sentenced to ten years at the Nuremberg Trials, Doenitz wrote his memoirs upon his release. In a clear firm style he discusses the planning and execution of the U-boat campaign; the controversial sinking of the Laconia; America's \"neutrality\" before its entry into the war; the Normandy invasion; the July 1944 bomb plot; his encounters with Raeder, Göring, Speer, Himmler, and Hitler; as well as his own brief tenure as the last Führer. Doenitz's invaluable work allows the reader to view the war at sea through the periscope's eye.\"","brand":"Naval Institute Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":20619466375238,"sku":"2285131","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2285131.jpg?v=1571426575","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/memoirs-ten-years-and-twenty-days","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
