Thanks to Stevin O, I am now reading through the Gerhard Hümmelchen book classic "Die Deutschen Schnellboote im Zweiten Weltkrieg"

A very impressive OOP title via Mittler u. Sohn Verlag from Hamburg. In German. Concise operational actions, and extensive appendices. The only drawback is the photos of the Ritterkreuz winners which are bad copies. 257 pages mit bild. Highly recommended title that all S-boot buchs should be compared too.

1. S-boot flottille, privately published and signed with dedication by the author DK winner Gerhard Behrens is coming to me shortly so this should be an interesting read. Gerhard by the way received his Deutsche Kreuz while serving as Kommandeur of S-225 and the boot was released into US custody at the end of the war. Gerhard received his high award in 1954.

alles gut !
