Welcome to ubootwaffe.net
ubootwaffe.net is the work of a community of researchers. Through this site we aim to provide other keen researchers and historians with useful tools and easy, open access to information about U-Boats and the Battle of the Atlantic. We believe in sharing our work because history hidden is history lost.

This site is non-profit and privately funded. This is a non-political site, we are concerned with the military history of the U-boot-waffe and its operations.
Willkommen bei ubootwaffe.net
ubootwaffe.net ist eine Gemeinschaftsarbeit. Mit dieser website möchten wir anderen ernsthaft an diesem Thema interessierten Forschern und Historikern nützliche Werkzeuge und einen freien Zugriff auf Informationen zu U-Booten und der Geschichte der Schlacht im Atlantik ermöglichen. Wir teilen unsere Arbeiten und unser Wissen aus der Überzeugung heraus, das nichtzugängliche Geschichte im Grunde verlorene Geschichte ist.
