A couple of other really good books I just finished up if you are interested....The Cruel sea retold by Bernard Edwards and Hirschfeld the story of a U boat NCO 1940-1946.....both very good reading....Rick

I'm almost through my copy of U-boat War and it is indeed absolutely excellent.

Just thought I'd shamelessly bump this thread and tell everyone that my review of U-boat War has been published on the site:

The last paragraph is actually a quote from the book, and not actually part of the review. I don't think it adds anything and I've asked Neal to remove it sometime in the near future.

If you want to see some of Buchheim's photos, I've put together a Flickr gallery of them here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/2741763...7621890839041/

Ha, this was one of my first uboat books.:woot:

Amazing photos.... Thank you for sharing :salute:. I can't really describe the feeling I have when looking at them.

Thanks for the heads-up - just ordered it.:rock:

Now that I think of it, I think this was the first time I saw the real life Der Alte. :hmmm:
