Im about 75% of the way through the book "Iron Coffins" which i have been meaning to read for a couple of years now.

with every page i turn, the difficulty inherent to GWX makes more and more sense.

quite a disgusting tactical situation these u-boat men faced... i knew it was bad, but the book paints a bleak picture of a surreal world that changed from delightful bliss to hellish despair in the matter of a month's time.

I highly recommend the book... especially for those who complain that GWX is too hard... half way through Werner's personal accounts i came to the realization that there are so many aspects of the war that not even the great GWX could simulate and because of this... if anything, GWX is far too easy.

what a wasteful nightmare the u-boat force had to endure after March of 1943 when the tables of war turned so dramatically against them.
