I'll second that recommendation & give this book my own
. The text is accompanied by well over 200 photos, many of which are previously unpublished & most are of very good quality. He has another book called
Hitler's Grey Wovles: U-Boats in the Indian Ocean which is a very interesting title.
Another
book is called
Another Place, Another Time: A U-Boat Officer's Wartime Album by Werner Hirschmann with Donald Graves. Very readable & has lots of interesting photos from Hirschmann's private collection. Also has an index containing everything that you would ever want to know about the IX C/40 boats.
