Well, here's that book about a German U-Boat captain in Japanese that you've always wanted! This is Nobuo Akiyama's Japanese translation of Jordan Vause's entertaining and informative 1990 biography U-Boat Ace, the Story of Wolfgang Luth. The second-most successful U-Boat captain of WWII, Luth was one of only seven Germans to earn the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds. Operating in almost every undersea theater of the war, he sank more than 230,000 tons of allied shipping. Learn more about this fascinating figure of WWII (and challenge your Japanese reading skills!) with this hardcover book from Gakken Publishing. All text in Japanese, illustrated with black-and-white photos.
