If you want to read a great novel featuring the sinking of the H.M.S. Royal Oak, go on Amazon.com and reference "The Cost of Courage" by Joseph Cordaro.

Not to mention according to this clip 'the submarine was the most feared weapon at sea' and 'sounded the death knell for the battleships' - uh, i thought that was the aircraft carrier.
lucius1976 Says:
No, not shortly. His boat was sunk in April/May 1941. The exact date is unknown
stubbostubbs Says:
Rubbish. It was aircraft that saw off the Battleship era!

Hi mate, the original german book-title is: "Mein Weg nach Scapa Flow" (Günther Prien) You will be surprised that there is not much propaganda against the Royal Navy or Britain. The only obvious mistake was, the he wrote he had sunk the Repulse as well. But this mistake might happen, because it was night when he attacked the vessels. If you find the book, please let me know, I would like to buy a copy as well.

SuperAncientmariner Says:
The book was originaly called "The man who sank the Royal Oak" and was also available over here,postwar, as "U-Boat Commander" ..( presuming you are refering to Priens autobiography.)

Hi, glad you liked it. the song is a version of the theme from the film, Last of the Mohicans, done by a pan pipes group in Maderia.
Danie9989 Says:
thanks alot for the clear insight about Scapa Flow but does anyone know what the song is at 0:39 ? thank you
scapa6 Says:
Thanks for your comments and the book title. i didn't know about that.
gosuc Says:
First my salut to those who died when the ship was sunk. I have read Guenther Priens book "My way to Scapa Flow", printed in 1940. Althoug war literature was subject to propaganda, Prien never mentioned that Scapa flow was targeted because of the end of german ships after WW1. And although there was war, he NRVER made unrespectful comments about the Royal Navy. He only cynically mentioned a news-comment from BBC right after the attack, that his boat was sunk. Royal Oak, rest in peace.
fokjock Says:
Wish he could have pronounced Guenther properly-adds some credibility..
WinchesterRanger Says:
I think you intended to direct this question to 20callenderslady.
scapa6 Says:
thanks for your comment. can you tell me a bit more about Harold Wernham please.
20callenderslady Says:
a short and clear explanation of the events leading to the sinking of HMS Royal Oak. To all who perished in her and her survivors, especially the late Harold Wernham, I salute you.
WinchesterRanger Says:
Thank you Royal Oak.
