The other night, he was looking at my copy of the book and asked if he could read it. I told him it was pretty hard to read for a six year old and said there was some parts not quite appropriate for little children. Told him he'd have to wait a few years before taking that one on. I've been expanding my library quite a bit with U-boat books and my son loves looking at the pictures in the books and asking a million questions as well as watching me play and asking a million and one questions.

I do have a 2-1/2 year old boy though, a little young to watch the movie (or even sit still for 1 minute...) but in the future Im pretty sure he'll be into dads movies/games/books. He does have a toy sub he plays with in the bath, seems to really like it... Cheers |

I have just finished reading Wolf: U-boat commanders in World War II by Jordan Vause
I found it impossible to put down and read it through in one day. It deals not so much with the events of the war and the u-boat campaign but rather concentrates on the commanders involved, notably tracking the careers of Jürgen Oesten, Victor Oehrn and Wolfgang Lüth as well as painting a detailed portrait of Karl Dönitz. This is a must-read for anyone even remotely interested in the u-boat war.
