    U-Boat book ID help

    I aquired a couple of books with a U-boat Officers group a while back. The books are called 'Nauticus 1941' and 'Nauticus 1942' both War time published (1940+41) and are large hardbacked books with 480+ pages concerning U-boats.
    Both have Nazi labels on the inside covers with Officers signiatures - can anyone enlighten me as to what these are- also I'm presuming these books were to be read by trainee Officers?

    Many thanks

            Hi Jager1,

            Nauticus wasn´t a special book for training navy members. It was more a yearbook for everyone interested in the navy, ships and sailing in general.
            You can see on one of the pics, that this book used to belong the library of some kind of commercial school.
            These books are nothing special but none the less interesting.

            Cheers,

              Hi ustufvorwaerts

              Thanks for explaining that. I must admit I had seen them for sale in ABE books so know they are pretty common and cheap to buy (they were just an extra with my group) and I could see they were from some kind of School. But I am pretty curious about the labels - hopefully someone can help with this.

              Regards
              Justin
