There may be none more feared military unit than the dreaded German Stormtroopers. While that name has been taken by Hollywood, the real life troopers were deadly and dangerous. This book details the organization and formation of the Special Forces, from the earliest roots in biblical days to the World War II German elite units. There were missteps and successes that have gone down in history.

The brave men, and now women, who choose to serve on today’s submarines have to have a certain type of bravery that many do not possess. There is always the danger that the wrong move, a wrong turn, or mechanical failure will spell certain death for them. At times of war, this danger is even more amplified. Those who signed up for duty in the early submarines were more at risk than today’s military forces. This was the case for the German U-Boat crews. 

They say that history is written by the victors. This may be true, but the side of those that fought and lost should also be remembered. While we seek not to glorify the Germans during WWII, we also can take away lessons from the stories of their courage. Though we don’t celebrate their cause, we acknowledge that these men were patriots to their nation and fought with honor and courage under fire. In this audiobook, we’ll take a look at some of the actions and deeds that these men had a hand in. Some of the stories are shocking. Others are, in their own way, inspiring.
