This is the tragic story of the U-boats at war. Brave men fighting a losing battle against odds they could never hope to overcome.

Out-numbered, out-gunned and out-thought, the U-boats were justifiably known to their crews as "iron coffins." somehow the U-boat fleet rose to the challenge and even managed a brief flicker of success before their inevitable fate enveloped them.

This incisive three DVD set tells the story of the U-boat war from the perspective of the men who sailed in the U-boat fleet. Drawing on extensive news reel footage and rare war time photographs, this is the definitive story of the U-boat war from the inside.

Also included is the book, The U-boat War From Primary Sources featuring a complete overview of the U-boat war by Emmy Award winning author Bob Carruthers, eye witness accounts from survivors and a wide selection of the best photography from German war time propaganda magazines and the Kreigsmarine's own publications.
