Back in the seventies my dad went on business trip to Chicago. Off course he visited U-505, he told me Peter Zschech's story, one of U-505's commanders.
Read it yourself, somehow it grabbed me years ago. It still fascinates me!

" Steel Boats, Iron Hearts " is a good read. I got it off Amazon.
Before he died Hans Goebler was known to give informal tours of U-505 in Chicago.
