Suggested book to read as you play SH3

[von Zelda]

Sea War 1939 - 1945 by Janusz Piekalkiewicz, translated from German by Peter Spurgeon (Hardcover - 1987 - Blanford Press - ISBN is 091867817X - 353pp)

This book was originally written in German and published in 1980 as Seekrieg 1939 - 1945.

Written in chronological order, it gives an almost day-by-day account of the most important aspects, events, statistics and pictures of the sea war in Europe; Atlantic, Artic, Baltic, Indian and Med. You can read along on a daily basis, finding out the most important events and statistics that are happening as you play SH3.

Having read many U-boat, Kriegsmarine and Battle of the Atlantic books, this is the only book I know of that is written in a format that makes it easily read on a day-by-day basis while you play the game.

Hope this is helpful.

Sounds good but have to finish Brag's book first. Slow reading with ship sighted disturbing me all the time.

I have Brag's book, but I haven't found time to start it yet. Hopefully I will be able to start it in a few days. Amazon has this for $7.84 so I went and ordered it.

i have not been playing for a while because i'm reading the awesome...

Albert Speer: His Battle With The Truth.

by Gitta Sereny.

i've stopped playing to allow this monster tome room. there just isnt enough time in the day to do both - it demanded my full attention and i willingly gave it, i'm nearly at the end - of the book and the 3rd Reich !!

AWESOME !! but you may have to put into port for a while - the image of Donitz and Raeder stripped naked and body searched with Speer in Spandau Prison.......

if you go for it i recommend the hardback edition.

Have you read 'Das Boot' by Buchheim?
Of all the U-boat books I've read, I learned the most about life on board from that one.

I like "Wolfpack," an Osprey publishing book. It's the book with a picture of a type XXIII on the front. Lots of info on uboats, sensors, torpedoes, uboat bases, and uboat crews.
I think it goes hand-in-hand with SH3.
The only thing I find missing it the ASW war against uboats.
