Two submariners in khaki are peering off their green conning tower, scanning the horizon for convoys; beneath a blue sky and a red flag. By the end of the war the German navy had almost 150 U-boats, which were considered a formidable physical and psychological part of their fleet, and had played an ever increasing role in the war since the battle of Juttland in 1916. Rickards, 62.
