you guys need to read about the true warriors of uboots "the Germans"... Which had the greatest action of the battle of the atlantic..
Read "Hitlers Uboat War" "Battle of the Atlantic" and "Iron Coffins" all nonfiction (or true books).. |

Heres 3 for me:
"Utmost Savagery: The three days at Tarawa" by Col. J.H Alexander. "Operation Iceberg" by Gerald Astor. About Okinawa. "In Harms Way" by Doug Stanton. About the terrible ordeal of the survivors of the Indianapolis.

"Business in Great Waters" is a good book, my granddad gave it to me a while back.

U333 by Peter Cremer is exactly the same format but is written by a German U-Boat ace. Both are excellent reads. Quote:
