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.

Wow you have got some books there nikimcbee.
I have a quite a few more but they are in storage along with the rest of my budding library as i did not have the space to bring them with we when i got posted to Cyprus. Dam the Army.:nope:

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"

Just reading these now, good accounts of the struggle.

Just a couple of thoughts spring to my (UK) mind, an apparent dislike of the 'Brits' pervades the text, and seemingly even more important to the author is a crusade to defend US Admiral Ernest King.

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

Nice shelves, guys!
We likes literate Kaleuns. :know:

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:

It is in my Wish list.
Just need to get my new rig and some stuff for the house for the wife and then i can shop with freedom once again.;)

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:

Yeah IIRC I remember recommending you get them about two years back :hmm:

Nice shot of the naval section at your local municipal library Jason :rotfl:

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

Damn thought you were going for connect 4 James :doh::doh:

I myself had one of these
