The other two books are more of a biographic style. "Die Festung" starts with the ending of his second war patrol on U 96 in early '43, sees him in Berlin and his atellier in southern Bavaria, gets him back to France in mid '44, to Brest a bit after D-Day with the almost last sub out of Brest and down the coast, then to Paris and ends in late '44 near the Belgian border.
"Der Abschied" simply ties up some loose knots during a documentary cruise on the Otto Hahn.
If your German is good enough i can heartly recommend "Die Festung". "Der Abschied" is more like a doorstopper.
