Ship Sixteen: The Story Of The Secret German Raider Atlantis by Ulrich Mohr is a historical account of one of the most successful and mysterious German naval vessels of World War II. The book tells the story of the Atlantis, a disguised merchant ship that was secretly equipped with heavy armaments and sent on a mission to disrupt Allied shipping in the Atlantic.Under the command of Captain Bernhard Rogge, the Atlantis embarked on a two-year voyage that saw it sink or capture more than 20 Allied vessels, including a British armed merchant cruiser. The Atlantis was also responsible for the capture of more than 1,000 Allied sailors, who were interned on board the ship for the duration of the war.The book provides a detailed account of the Atlantis' activities, including its encounters with Allied vessels, its refuelling and resupply operations, and the challenges faced by its crew during their long and arduous voyage. It also explores the political and strategic context of the Atlantis' mission, including the German navy's efforts to disrupt Allied shipping and the role of the Atlantis in this broader campaign.Drawing on a range of primary sources, including official naval records, personal diaries, and interviews with surviving crew members, Ship Sixteen offers a fascinating insight into the world of naval warfare during World War II. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the German navy, the tactics of naval warfare, or the broader history of the Second World War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
