DVD's
Silent Victory- Submarine Warfare in WWII- Documentary

Submarines: The Silent Service in World War II- Documentary

Destination Tokyo- movie starring Cary Grant

Operation Pacific- John Wayne

Add your favorites and I'll copy and paste them here. Please limit it to US subs. You can post u-boat related stuff in the SH5 forum

Oh my! Maybe a photo of my bookshelf? I'll be back!:D

There's one more movie you can add;

Torpedo Run - Glenn Ford, Ernest Borgnine

Also a novel which I just finished awhile back.
