About this book
The Adventures of the U-202 is an actual narrative by E. Spiegel. The preface describes the writer sitting on the conning tower smoking a cigarette when the splash of a wave soaked it. The preface says that had the writer thrown himself into the complicated U-boat system and used a bunch of technical terms, the story would be shorter and more quickly read through, but the reader would not have understood half of it.
An excited voice announces a cloud of smoke four points port. Seven times during three days, the narrator says, they had met neutral ships without contraband on board and had been compelled to let them continue on their way. The writer says the mines were showing above the surface during the ebb tide, so one could easily steer through the lanes between them. The blocking of this important passage was therefore for the enemy an assuring but somewhat expensive illusion.
