{"product_id":"u-boats-at-war-in-100-objects-1939-1945","title":"U-Boats at War in 100 Objects","description":"Gordon Williamson, using a carefully selected range of both wartime images and color images of surviving U-boat memorabilia from private collections, describes one hundred iconic elements of the U-boat service and its campaigns. The array of objects includes important individuals and the major U-boat types, through to the uniforms and insignias the men wore. The weapons, equipment and technology used are explored, as are the conditions in which the U-boat crews served, from cooking facilities and general hygiene down to the crude toilet facilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Importantly, the enemy that they faced is also covered, examining the ship-borne and airborne anti-submarine weaponry used against the U-boats. The U-boats began the war, though few in number, more than a match for the Allies and created carnage amongst merchant shipping as well as sinking several major warships.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57484288852341,"sku":"9781526759023","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781526759023.jpg?v=1786266344","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/u-boats-at-war-in-100-objects-1939-1945","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
