Hitlers Grey Wolves - U-Boats in the Indian Ocean by Lawrence Paterson.

Very little has been written about the U-boat war in the Indian Ocean. The battle began in August 1943, when a German submarine arrived in the Malaysian harbour of Georgetown. In total, nearly forty U-boats were assigned to penetrate the Indian Ocean, serving alongside troops of the occupying Imperial Japanese forces, and using Malaysia as an operational station. From that base, they mixed with Japanese forces on a hitherto unseen scale: a move which spread the U-boat war throughout the vast Indian Ocean and into the Pacific. Success in this theatre of war could very possibly have swung the tide of battle in North Africa in favour of Rommel, but the Germans essentially did too little too late. The joint action also gave U-boats the opportunity to penetrate the Pacific Ocean for the first time, attacking shipping off the Australian coast and hunting off New Zealand. Plans were even afoot for an assault on American supply lines. At the same time the cooperation brought into stark relief the fundamental differences between German and Japanese war aims. After the crews of Italian supply submarines joined the Germans and Japanese, relations between the fighting men of the three main Axis powers were often brutal and almost constantly turbulent. Hitlers Grey Wolves is the story of this forgotten campaign - brought vividly to life through Lawrence Patersons incisive analysis, eyewitness testimonies and more than 100 never-before-seen contemporary photographs.
