Great Xmas Gifts.
 
I have had a excellent holiday season so far.
I got some great and unexpected presents from my family.
Namely plenty of U-boot reading material.
Here is a picture off all the books i got to add to my current collection.
Ive now got plenty to read now while i go through the days and hours between convoys out on patrol.

I had to pack all of mine because I changed jobs and moved. It killed me to have them packed away.

I see you are missing the "Ladybird Book of U Boats" and the "Boy's Own Stories of Kapitainleutnant Zur Zee Albert Kreigelbaum"

I don't think I'm misinterpreting things am I?

LOL, you both beat me to it...

However, MrChris.... I'm sooo disappointed!!! :nope:

Where oh where is your copy of "The U-boat Commander's handbook???" :lol:

mr chris 12-27-08 02:04 AM

I think that is the only thing that stops me getting them,it would annoy the hell out of me since its something you just don't find in other books about the battle of the Atlantic,where the British were much admired for they're convoy abilities and seamanship:hmm:

It's nearly two years since I last read them but IIRC I thought he was pretty pro Doenitz and if anti anything, it was Canadian, but only in a small way :hmm:

Either way, two great volumes/reference books on the Atlantic struggle and commonly referred to by myself as 'The Bible' http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

I can wholeheartedly recommend his Silent Victory (one volume) as an equally definitive account of the Pacific struggle http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif
