Summary

"In Another Place, Another Time, Werner Hirschmann provides a unique view of the day-to-day life of a U-boat officer who, like young men on both sides, did his best to enjoy life while trying to do his duty. An epilogue describes his postwar life as a prisoner-of-war in Canada and Britain and his subsequent postwar move to Canada, where he pursued a successful career and eventually became an honorary member of the veterans' association of HMCS Esquimalt." "A key feature for the many readers interested in Second World War submarines is the technical section that provides a detailed pictorial tour of the Type IXC/40 U-boat, including many previously unpublished photographs discovered in Canadian archives."--Jacket.
