I just bought a new book that follows a U-boat captain from his time as an ensign in 1941 to captain of his own u-boat in 45. I've just started but can hardly put it down!
It is written by Herbert A. Werner
(Who is the actual Captain.)
the title is Iron Coffins

Great choice!! but I still favor the book: "Shooting the War" by: Otto Giese much more. They if you can find a copy of Erich Topps book and a copy of Hans Goebelers book, I highly recommend all of these. The best one of all of these is: "Shooting the War" and I am a bit prejudiced about it but will not relinquish why--unless asked privately, that is.
