Interesting account of Georg von Trapp's experiences as a U-Boat commander in the Austrian Navy during World War 1. The ending was poignant because he told of Austria's surrender and the end of the Austro-Hungarian empire.

Another review in the Atlantic, of the English-language version (translation by von Trapp's granddaughter): "One of its fascinating aspects is the glimpse it offers into the multiethnic makeup of this imperial navy, and the admirable attitudes and behavior of a patriotic officer on the losing side of a great conflict."
