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.

This is the story of Boots' libraries, situated within the chemist's shops, set within the context of life in Britain during the first half of the 20th century.

Former staff share memories of Class A subscribers lording it over humble category B subscribers who - albeit resentfully - knew their place.

Von Hunderten deutscher U-Boote, die im Zweiten Weltkrieg im Einsatz waren, sind nur wenige zurückgekehrt.
