Few awards captured the respect and admiration of the German public as the Knight's Cross - it was the greatest honour one could achieve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the perilous and close-knit world of the U-boat crews the award of the decoration to their captain was an event of particular pride and sometimes it was even added to the boat's insignia. In all, there were 123 recipients, including their commander-in-chief Karl Dönitz, and Jeremy Dixon's highly illustrated book is the ideal guide to all these men and their wartime service.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA graphic text accompanied by almost 200 archive photographs describes the exploits of each of them, including those who received the higher grades of the award. Full details are given of their tours of duty, the operations they took part in, how they won their award, how many ships they sank and their subsequent careers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 30, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45967322611909,"sku":"9781399021814","price":35.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/aBBa_PVK479781399021814.webp?v=1773708832","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/the-u-boat-commanders-knights-cross-holders-1939-1945-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
