Both great books. Only up to early 44 in the 2nd.
Regarding the above quote, you have to remember that it was dangerous for any allied ship to stop to pick up survivors, allied or axis, if there were U-Boats around. Since U-Boats, at least up to 44, often attacked in packs, it was SOP for allied warships to not stop for survivors if other U-boats were suspected to be around.
