An unrivalled look at struggle for control of the sea in the European theatre from the point of view of the German officers Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe that fought it. The contributing authors were involved in all aspects of German attempts to control the seas, from the use of Ju-87 Stuka dive-bombers in the invasion of Norway to the missions of FW-200 Kondors in cooperation with the U-boat campaign against Britain's Atlantic lifelines. These reports were either written as secret reports during the war for the benefit of the Oberkommando der Luftwaffe the Air Force General Staff or were written immediately after the war when most of the German High Command were prisoners of war or working for the US military.
