Title: Not the whole truth
Review: At first I thought this was the truth (when I had read it back in 2005), but when I came to read Nightmare at Scapa Flow along with The Royal Oak Disaster, I soon learned that this book is largely lies, distortions, etc. brought about by Paul Weymar who had ghostwritten the book during the war as Mein Weg Nach Scapa Flow.There was no Pfalzburg, but rather a second Cape Horn ship known now as the Suomen Joutsen (back then as the Oldenburg). Jost Metzler's book The Laughing Cow even mentions having served on this ship with Prien...and that is just one of the many distortions in the book.I advise readers if they choose to buy this - to also buy Nightmare at Scapa Flow and The Royal Oak Disaster to learn more of the truth.
