The first one I wasn't sure if I already had but thankfully I didn't.

U-Boat War Patrol-The Hidden Photographic Diary of U-564 by Lawrence Paterson

The Golden Horseshoe-The Story Of Otto Kretschmer by Terence Robertson

Pay little attention to the price, I paid £4.99 for a brand new copy.

I can also recommend the first one - a great read plus all the pictures really make the narrative come alive. IIRC these are the pics that someone found in one of the French u-boat bases after the Allies retook them, and whoever found them kept them packed away for several decades before they ever saw the light of day again. Just the story of how they were identified and the book came to be, is a pretty interesting tale.

Still haven't read the Kretschmer bio, but I'm sure it's on my wish list.
