Summary: "The Diary of a U-boat Commander" by Sir Stephen King-Hall is a historical account written during the early 20th century, likely during World War I. This memoir provides a firsthand insight into the life aboard a German U-boat, detailing the experiences of U-boat commander Karl Schenk as he reflects on war, duty, and the emotional turmoil of conflict. The opening of the narrative introduces readers to the context in which the diary was written, beginning with a moment of vulnerability from a captured German captain. The author, Etienne, recounts his encounter with this man, highlighting the inner conflict and emotional strain resulting from the war. Following this, the commander offers his perspective through a blend of personal thoughts and observations regarding the monotony of naval life and the transition to U-boat service, revealing his eagerness for action that stands in stark contrast to the reality of extended periods of static duty. As he prepares to enter the realm of submarine warfare, readers are set up for a journey into the intense and often contradictory emotions experienced on the front lines of naval warfare.
