U-Boat Commander Oskar Kusch - Anatomy of a Nazi-Era Betrayal and Judicial Murder

"U-Boat Commander Oskar Kusch: Anatomy of a Nazi-Era Betrayal and Judicial Murder is the first work of English language scholarship on the history of a German naval officer in World War II whose hatred of the Nazis precipitated his loss of rank and eventual court-ordered murder. Pinned by his executive officer for sedition despite a sterling military record, the charges stuck and Oskar Kusch was executed following a court martial."--

Summary

The first scholarly work on Oskar Kusch in English, this study traces his career and ordeal from his upbringing in Berlin to his tragic death and beyond, including the fifty-year struggle to rehabilitate his name and restore his honour in a postwar Germany long loath to confront the darker dimensions of its past.
