In 2017, he earned the PADI Divemaster certification. K.A. lives near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. About the Book: Killing Shore: The True Story of Hitler’s U-boats Off the New Jersey Coast was researched and written over three years beginning in January 2021. It tells the story of Nazi Germany’s submarine campaign off North America, with a focus on events near New Jersey. Parts I and III explain how and why the U-boats came to the United States and how they were ultimately defeated. Part II (the main story) provides a seafarer’s-eye perspective of combat incidents that occurred along the Jersey Shore. This is a work of nonfiction. All characters are real people, and no facts have been changed insofar as they are known. Primary sources—patrol logs, POW interrogation records, etc—were utilized to reconstruct action sequences in detail. The author was also assisted by descendants of the book’s characters, subject matter experts, and a Merchant Marine combat veteran of World War II. Portrayals of combat and survival are interwoven with the cultural, military, economic, and technological dimensions of the Atlantic campaign. Killing Shore is currently available in e-book and hardcover; the audiobook will be released on 20 August 2024.  An amazing and keenly accurate saga of the horrific loss of men, merchant ships, and naval vessels off the Jersey Shore during World War II.  - Capt. Hugh Stephens, retired US Merchant Marine officer and WWII naval combat veteran  These words are real literature, not only war history...Your research and story gave me a new perspective on my father and enabled me to learn things about him I had never known.  - Dr. Wolf H¨anert, son of U-550 commander  An extraordinary investigation... a compelling and thoroughly researched account of a little-known chapter of global history. Undoubtedly of interest to both serious military historians and casual readers.  - Senator Kenneth Pugh Olavarria (Chile), retired admiral and nephew of Tolt´en second mate Hope to see you there!
