Iron Coffins is indeed a gripping account of what it really was like away from the Nazi propaganda reels about huge U-Boat successes; the late-war descriptions in particular were to me a fascinating read.
I can't imagine what it must have been like, leaving for sea, knowing full well the sheer hopelessness of the task ahead and seeing so many vessels not returning.
Such a waste it seems.
I don't wish to hijack the topic, but if anyone of you can recommend any other good books on the U-boat war in WWII I'd appreciate it, I've only read Iron Coffins and would be interested in reading more about the U-boat war, as told by those that experienced it.
