Von Hunderten deutscher U-Boote, die im Zweiten Weltkrieg im Einsatz waren, sind nur wenige zurückgekehrt. Als Grundlage für diesen Zeitzeugenbericht dienten Klaus Willmann die Erinnerungen eines Besatzungsmitgliedes und das Kriegstagebuch von U 188. Die Mannschaft des U-Boots bestritt einen gefährlichen und strapaziösen Weg von Frankreich bis Malaysia. Der sehr persönliche Bericht des Matrosen Anton Staller lässt nicht nur den Alltag auf dem Boot mit seiner bedrückenden Enge, der ständigen Bedrohung durch Wasserbomben- und Fliegerangriffe plastisch werden.

In Deutschland spielte die Kriegsmarine über viele Jahrhunderte keine Rolle. Erst Kaiser Wilhelm II. ließ zum Schutz der deutschen Kolonien und zur Abwehr gegen eine britische Seeblockade eine eigene Flotte bauen. Da sie der britischen Marine hoffnungslos unterlegen war, favorisierte die kaiserliche Admiralität den Einsatz von U-Booten, um mit relativ geringen Mitteln eine größtmögliche Wirkung zu erzielen. Auch im Zweiten Weltkrieg spielten die deutschen U-Boote lange eine zentrale Rolle, ehe die alliierte Übermacht und neue Ortungssysteme aus den Jägern Gejagte machten.

Vieles liest sich wie ein Abenteuer, andere Begebenheiten waren recht skurril. Auch schwere Schicksalsschläge mussten gemeistert werden. Die Skala war in diesen 59 Jahren sehr breit gefächert. Natürlich ist noch sehr viel mehr passiert, aber das alles nieder zu schreiben würde den Rahmen sprengen. Ich möchte die Leser unterhalten und nicht ermüden. Gerade die junge Generation hat mich ermuntert, über meine Erlebnisse ein Buch zu verfassen.
