Been reading Hitler's 'Wonder' U-Boats: The Birth of the Cold War's Hunter Killer Submarines. Pretty disappointing so far. It's a sketchy account of the design of the Type XXI and XXIII and the few successes the XXIII had at the end of the war. The chapters are fragmented, the technical details are skimpy, and the author is an obvious apologist for the Nazis (constantly reminding us that the Allies bombed civilians and that Soviet armies committed atrocities in the East while handwaving away the entire slave labor issue).
Avoid this one.
