Is there such a manual and were to get it? Would be nice to read about rules of engagement and tactics that are historically accurate. :hmm:

I consider the U-boat commander's handbook to be essential and was one of the first U-boat books in my collection.

As a further note... the one that is widely available was written in 1943... after the Germans had some time to find out what works and what doesn't... following actual experience in battle.
