L?zth in the bridge of U-181 as she returned from her first war patrol in January 1943. Twelve pennants are flying behind him, one for each of the twelve ships he sank during the patrol. Ten of them were sunk in one month. FASCINATING black and white images from a new book have helped lift the lid on the story of the German naval commander who is credited with sinking an astonishing forty-seven Allied ships and a submarine during the Second World War, Wolfgang L?zth. Photos from ???U-Boat Ace: The Story of Wolfgang L?zth??? show the commander brazenly puffing on a cigarette on the bridge of his U-43 boat. Additional snaps capture L?zth???s sinking of Swedish freighter, Sicilia, whilst another shows his funeral procession, just two days after his death. Author, Jordan Vause, discussed what it was that drew him to Luth???s story has given readers a small insight into the stories told in the book. Jordan Vause / Greenhill Books / mediadrumworld.com
