The period between the invasion of Poland and the invasion of both Denmark and Norway is referred to as the "phony war." Unlike the slowness for the land campaign to develop; British; Polish; and other ally subs were very active particularly around coastal Denmark. The reader follows the beginning captains and crews through numerous missions which tragically ended with silence and loss for many. If detailed explanations are not what the reader is after then seek another source. Maps and photographs are sufficient and aid the reader. The fourth book; The Gathering Storm: The Naval War . . . ; is by the bedside and will be my next book.7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Another excellent book by Haarr.By Brian Lee KnippleAnother excellent account of the early days of the war by the author; in this case focusing on operations of the submarines of England; Poland and The Netherlands off northern Europe. The largest part of the book covers British submarines for the simple reason that they performed the overwhelming majority of the the operations in this. A must read for anyone interested in early WW2 naval operations.
