At the turn of the century, the naval power Austria-Hungary could not avoid the procurement of submarines, although leading naval circles in Vienna were initially anything but impressed by the new weapon.
In this volume, Wilhelm M. Donko describes the entire history of the emergence and production of the U-boat fleet of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. It presents not only all the Austro-Hungarian submarines with their missions and successes, but also the strategic cooperation with the Imperial German Navy in the Mediterranean, whose boats operated there over long distances under the red-white-red flag and achieved spectacular successes.
With 180 pictures (b/w pictures, tables, some colour pictures from today, some b/w drawings).
