Hi all,

And yes, of course, there is "wholly trinity" of German U-Boot books that no one should miss!

Das Boot
by Lothar Gunther Buchheim

Iron Coffins: A Personal Account of the German U-Boat Battles of World War II
by Herbert A Werner

Sharks and Little Fish
by Wolfgang Ott


The third book is little known (i.e. at least 100x less than first two I mentioned above) but is truly a masterpiece and worth reading!

Apollo 11,
I read Bas Boot and Iron Coffins in college. I agree, very good books. I have not read the third one. I may try to find it. Thanks.
