Title: A very rare breed of war diary
Product review: Lt-Cdr Hichens, DSO, DSC wrote a very nice book about his experiences as the Commander of the 6th Flotilla. I would have liked more pages and more details about the actions, but we must remember this book was written by the end of 1943, under the censorhip imposed by the war. It was printed only in 1944, after Cdr Hichens was killed in action.So, the details are vague, there is NO date, and unfortunately we can not have details ( cross-check ) from the Kriegsmarine losses.There are very few photographs, mostly of old models of MTB and MGB; but the ideas of the tactical role of those "fast vessels" can be fully appreciated by the lector.This is a very rare book that I fully recommend for all those who collects WW2 books and appreciate them like very rare and old wines...but do not expect too much from it though.
