The Voyage of the "Deutschland" by Paul Koenig is a historical narrative from the early 20th century that recounts the daring mission of the first submarine merchantman, the "Deutschland," during World War.

As the commander of the vessel, Paul Koenig provides an intimate account of the challenges they faced throughout the journey.

The narrative also delves into the technical complexities of navigating a submarine merchant vessel, highlighting the strong sense of camaraderie among the crew members.
