About This Item
London: Basic Books, 2014. 1st edition. As New. 8vo.. dust jacket viii + 312pp., b/w plates, maps, glossary, notes, appendix, bibliog., index, On June 15, 1942, as thousands of vacationers lounged in the sun at Virginia Beach, two massive fireballs erupted just offshore from a convoy of oil tankers steaming into Chesapeake Bay. Two damaged oil tankers fell out of line and began to sink. Then a small escort warship blew apart in a violent explosion. Navy warships and aircraft peppered the water with depth charges, but to no avail. Within the next 24 hours, a fourth ship lay at the bottom of the channel, all victims of 29-year-old Kapitanleutnant Horst Degen and his crew aboard the German U-boat U-701
