The sinking of the Swedish freighter Sicilia. This sinking was unusual in that L?zth attacked and sank Sicilia in accordance with the obsolete Prize Regulations: he stopped her with a shot across her bow; he brought her master on board U-181 for interrogation; he gave her crew half an hour to abandon ship. A member of U-181???s crew took these pictures as a single torpedo was fired at Sicilia. 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
