The author Byron Tesapsides published his last book, titled „Allied Submarine Operations in Greece during World War Two“, which reports, based on the Allies war diaries, regarding the operations of the following Allied submarines in the Greek waters during 1941-1944:
Parthian, Osiris, Perseus, Porpoise, Proteus, Rorqual, Sea Rover,
Seraph, Shakespeare, Sibyl, Sickle, Simoom, Sokol, Sportsman,
Surf, Tactician, Taku, Talisman, Taurus, Tetrarch, Thorn, Thraser,

Katsonis, Matrozos, Nereus, Pipinos, Papanikolis and Triton.
All those mentioned allied submarines -included British, Greek,
Polish, French and Dutch subs- observed enemy movements, laid
mines, landed supplies and men for clandestine purposes and
harassed and disrupted the traffic between the major ports and the
outlying garrisons of the occupied Greek islands and the mainland.
All those operations, against the Axis forces, were not only
conducted against unarmed caiques but also against heavy armed
war ships.
The reader will find in Byron’s book detailed reports of all the major
and minor operations based on the war diaries of the allied
submarines.
It is a great book, which is going to help every researcher and
history enthusiast, who is interested in the marine operations in the
Greek waters during WWII.
