SUBMARINE COMMANDER: A Story of World War II and Korea - Paul Schratz

Description: SUBMARINE COMMANDERA Story of World War II and KoreaBy Paul R Schratz LIKE NEW - HARDCOVER/DUST JACKET Schratz served aboard three U.S. Navy subs during World War II, taking part in the sinking of several Japanese ships, rescuing downed pilots, laying minefields. From a natural, slightly off-center viewpoint, he conveys his fascination with submarine warfare and his deep respect for many of the men he served with, bringing them to life in scenes of combat and riotous shore leaves from Honolulu to Hong Kong. After the Japanese surrender, he was involved in the demolition of the former enemy's submarine fleet, and his comments on the attitudes and military way of life of his counterparts in the Imperial Japanese Navy are intriguing. The post-World War II section is less interesting but far from boring: In command of the U.S.S. Pickerel, Schratz set an undersea distance record in 1949 and a year later took part in photo-intelligence missions during the early months of the Korean War. * * * * * * * *SELLER'S NOTE:Your absolute satisfaction is 100% guaranteed!
