What is Count Not the Dead : The Popular Image of the German Submarine about?

«Iron coffins», «grey wolves» and «steel sharks» - cast in images such as these, submarines are icons of Germanys maritime tradition. In books and films, submarines have been used to promote political goals and to justify and explain an intriguing and sometimes ambiguous past. This work explores the cult and culture surrounding one of the most mythologized weapons of war. Basing his study on some 250 German novels, memoirs, fictionalized histories, and films, Michael Hadley examines the popular image of the German submarine and weighs the values, purposes and perceptions of German writers and film makers. He considers the idea of the submarine as a war-winning weapon and the exploits of the «band of brothers» who made up the U-boat crews.
