But regardless of that I now find myself in a situation of badly wanting to expand on that knowledge - AND FAST! - so can you please point out a book you'd reckon is the definitive work on the subject to me? I'm mainly interested in an all-encompassing analysis á la Alan Clark's "Barbarossa" if such a book exists, i.e. something I can really dig into.

Thanks for any pointers you care to share with me my fellow Kaleuns :up:

Closely following in the footsteps of the Clay Blair books:

looks like it would be a jumpy day at sea, i like it when its like that :)

Hi out there!

Hmmm my prefered books all have a german title :D

But here are my recommendations:

Paul Lund / Harry Ludlam "Night of the U-Boats" about the attacks on the convoy SC - 7 in Okt 1940
Martin Middlebrook "Convoy" about the attacks on HX-229 & SC - 122 March 1943
also very good the "orignal" book from Buchheim before "Das Boot", but I know just the german title "Jäger im Weltmeer" (translated in to something like "Hunter in the Sea" )

In diesem Sinne
Gott mit Uns
