Publisher's Description
A young man from South West Africa goes to Germany to study nautical engineering and falls in love with a girl whom he later marries. That forces him to stay in Germany and to join the Kriegsmarine, the German Navy, as a submarine officer. During the Second World War he becomes the captain of a successful U-boat, while his wife is killed during an American bombing raid. He finds the new love of his life in occupied Norway. At the end of the war, he is involved in a secret operation, namely to smuggle three tons of Nazi gold to South America in the newest type of U-boat.
Endorsements (2)
“By reading this entertaining story, the reader is transported to Nazi Germany with all the upheavals caused by two world wars. The story is well structured and gripping, with many unexpected twists, a surprising ending, and insights into the main character’s emotional life and the choices he has to make.”
“Adelbert Scholtz, with his brilliant academic record, surely knows how to write historical fiction. His stories are solidly structured, reliably researched, and eminently entertaining. He is able to recreate the past with words, and as a qualified psychologist and retired military chaplain, he creates credible characters who have to make difficult decisions in a chaotic war situation. He is destined to become a best-selling author of fiction.”
