These disguised raiders were the brainchild of Admiral Karl Dönitz, the commander of the German U-boat fleet. Dönitz believed that by disguising his U-boats as American merchant ships, he could evade detection and get close enough to Allied ships to launch devastating attacks. And he was right.

The disguised raiders were incredibly successful. They sank dozens of Allied ships, causing widespread panic and disruption. But their success came at a price. The Allies eventually caught on to the German ruse, and the disguised raiders became hunted prey.

In this gripping book, historian William Konzen tells the untold story of the disguised German raiders of World War II. Based on extensive research, including interviews with surviving crew members, Konzen reveals the daring missions, the deadly encounters, and the ultimate fate of these disguised raiders.
