Enigma : the untold story of the secret capture
(Book - Adult Hardback)

David Balme will be forever known as the 20-year-old hero who boarded a German U-boat in mid-Atlantic and captured one of the greatest secrets of the Second World War. This capture - or 'pinch' as it was known within secret, inner circles - changed the course of the Battle of the Atlantic and shortened the war itself. The story of the capture and ransack of U-110 is told for the first time in the words and letters of David Balme, his captain Joe Baker Cresswell, George Dodds and others who took part in the most important submarine capture of the whole war.
