Divers at war
This superbly researched and objectively written book by acclaimed diving historian and author Michael Jung has been expertly translated from German into English by David Johnston. It chronicles in vivid detail how Germany slowly but surely developed combat frogmen and exploited their revolutionary skills during WW2.
The Germans initially had ready access to the advanced diving skills and equipment in the Italian Navy. Even so, the book reveals the reluctance of the conventional military institutions to recognise the considerable value of combat frogmen.
