"The Voyage of the 'Deutschland'" by Paul König is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles the extraordinary journey of the first submarine merchantman, the "Deutschland," during World War I, as it undertook a daring mission to break the English blockade and deliver vital cargo to America. It offers insights into the challenges and experiences faced by the crew, including the author himself, who served as the commander of the vessel. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces the intrigue surrounding the voyage, clarifying that the mission was not about thrilling exploits but rather about quietly slipping through enemy lines to deliver goods. He shares his initial experiences of preparing to take command of the "Deutschland," detailing the sense of pride and purpose he felt in being part of this innovative project meant to defy the constraints of wartime. The opening portion sets the stage for the voyage, highlighting the complexities of navigating a submarine merchant vessel and the camaraderie among the crew members as they embarked on this unprecedented adventure.
