It isn't enough that, as a British seaman, you have to fight the Germans and the Italians, but now you have to be afraid of your own side too. Why? Because you happen to be at sea in a U-Boat doing undercover missions.

And because there is a time limit to how long you will be effective, before the Germans find out one of their submarines is under British control, you go on one mission after another with very little break in between.

And eventually the tension starts to get at you... You snap at your friends, take unnecessary risks and your nerves begin to give out. Then the real fun begins....

Another delightful naval story from a real British seaman who has no problem in killing off the characters you have learned to love, because that's the way it really was.
