The Journal of Submarine Commander Von Forstner offers a stark and visceral glimpse into the harrowing world of World War I submarine warfare through the eyes of the German commander of U-boat U-28. First published in 1916, this account immerses listeners in the claustrophobic reality of life beneath the waves, detailing the relentless tension of daily operations and the chilling execution of torpedo attacks on Allied vessels. The translator's foreword underscores the psychological impact of these stealthy assaults, illustrating how the fear of this "invisible enemy" reverberated through the civilized world. As we navigate an era marked by complex geopolitical tensions and the resurgence of naval power, Forstner's reflections on the moral dilemmas and human costs of warfare resonate powerfully, reminding us of the enduring consequences of conflict and the profound struggles faced by those who serve in the shadows of history.

Delve deep into the clandestine world of submarine warfare during WWI with the Journal of Submarine Commander Von Forstner. As the commander of the German U-boat U-28, Forstner provides an unvarnished account of the gritty realities of life under the sea, including detailed descriptions of torpedo attacks on Allied ships. First published in 1916, this 1917 English translation aimed to support the Allied war effort by revealing the fearsome nature of their invisible enemy. Inspired by a visit to the captured WWII German U-505 submarine at Chicagos Museum of Science and Industry, this audio reading offers a visceral understanding of the claustrophobic conditions endured by the submarines crew, exemplified by the cramped sleeping quarters nestled alongside 15-foot-long torpedoes. This is a journey into the heart of the submarine warfare experience. (Introduction by Sue Anderson)
