About this title

Synopsis

"In Another Place, Another Time, Werner Hirschmann provides a unique view of the day-to-day life of a U-boat officer who, like young men on both sides, did his best to enjoy life while trying to do his duty. An epilogue describes his postwar life as a prisoner-of-war in Canada and Britain and his subsequent postwar move to Canada, where he pursued a successful career and eventually became an honorary member of the veterans' association of HMCS Esquimalt." A key feature for the many readers interested in Second World War submarines is the technical section that provides a detailed pictorial tour of the Type IXC/40 U-boat, including many previously unpublished photographs discovered in Canadian archives.
