In "You Must Survive," a U.S. submarine crew faces desperate circumstances after their vessel is destroyed and sunk by enemy forces. With German Captain von Holtz's submarine hunting them in the waters off New London, Connecticut (as of June 1942), the American sailors must find a way to escape before the enemy can locate and eliminate them.

Contains 3 stories
Nightmare in Kobe
7 pp · War

Commander Mike Gerard pitches an audacious plan to penetrate Kobe's heavily defended harbor and strike at Japan's crucial shipyards—a mission the Japanese Navy deemed impossible for American submarines. With approval from the Admiral, Gerard and his crew make the grueling 4,000-mile journey and slip into the Inland Sea, where they must navigate treacherous enemy patrols, depth charges, and the constant threat of detection to reach their target. It's a high-stakes run through one of the war's most dangerous waters, where split-second decisions and nerves of steel mean the difference between a successful raid and disaster.

You Must Survive
8 pp · War

You're the sole crew of the USS Snapper, the last atomic submarine in the fleet, after saboteurs have systematically destroyed the rest—and now enemy forces are hunting you across the Arctic waters. With the fate of the world balanced on your shoulders, you must outmaneuver enemy attacks, launch a critical retaliatory strike, and survive long enough for diplomacy to work. Commander Bill Keeler leads you through a desperate gambit where seconds matter and a single miscalculation could trigger nuclear annihilation.

The Saga of Kapitan von Holtz
8 pp · War

Kapitan von Holtz, Hitler's ace U-boat commander, has spent years sinking Allied shipping with ruthless efficiency and absolute confidence in German naval superiority—but his streak of deadly success is about to meet an unexpected challenge in the North Atlantic. When Lt. Tony Barre, an American naval reserve officer new to submarine command, encounters von Holtz's vessel in a tense underwater duel, the inexperienced American must rely on skill and nerve to survive an encounter with one of the war's most formidable enemies. "The Saga of Kapitan von Holtz" is a 1959 war tale that pits arrogance against determination in a battle beneath the waves.
