This rare booklet was published 1940 by Wilhelm Lim-pert Publishing House in Berlin and was aimed especially at Hitler Youth boys with the goal to attract them to volunteer in the U-Boot service. The book is written like a conversation between two older boys, one tells the other about his fantastic teacher and his lectures about the German U-Boot. The boy repeats everything he has learned to his friend and the more he "lectures" the more excited both of them get.
The last few pages are dedicated to explaining what is required to get accepted as a volunteer in the Reichskriegsmarine. Membership in the Marine-Hitlerjugend is strongly suggested.
