The
main interest of Werner's book is the fact that it mixes well patrol time with leave time
and involves you much more in the war than other books (except Steel Boat, Iron Hearts about
u-505). This is this kind of feeling that I miss in current simulations and that was partially present
in AOD.
I probably look like the devil's advocate but iron coffins is the book I find myself returning to each
time I want a uboat fix.
For the curious you can look at the crew list at uboatwaffe.net and find Werner's friends that
disappeared at various time during the war - it is really a weird feeling to read about them and
see their pictures and then a line like this :
Gerloff Gunter Lt.z.S 15.10.1921 14.04.1943 U-526+
lost near Lorient
Forget about the nitpick and enjoy the reading
