  Meet Hartmut Schober, who was drafted into the Bundeswehr, the German armed forces, during the final peak of the Cold War. Learn what military training was like in those days. Find out about nasty drill instructors, brawls with Brits and Americans, huge NATO exercises and Darth Vader’s storm troopers invading a suburb of Cologne.

  Early in 1917, the Imperial German U-boat U-15 is patrolling for the English merchant shipping off of Ireland. Lieutenant Commander Müller, by his man called "the old man" has received new orders: Germany has declared the unrestricted U-boat warfare in the waters around England! For the second time! Müller is a veteran of the submarine war and knows about the dangers. Armed with just a few torpedoes, single U-boats have to go against an enemy who is superior in firepower, speed and pure numbers. Soon, the outlooks spot a convoy escorted by several destroyers and the hunt is on ...Iron Tube - Unrestricted U-Boat Warfare is a breathtaking military fiction story, offering insights into the hardly known submarine war of World War I as well as German cultural and naval singularities. Peter Brendt once was a German navy sailor himself, so he knows what he is talking about.
