Not to dimish your respectable student status, but I got to agree with you about the google job

From what I know of it, Google documents are fairly rudimentary, which is both a good thing and a bad thing for a project like this.
Despite the fact that I have never used google documents, I am sure that its spreadsheet functionalities will be more than enough for our purposes: this is a job that could be done with notepad

I will try to put my hands on this book. Thank you for your suggestion

Unfortunately, the ULTRA decrypts in that database do not cover the whole war.
Once more, interesting information on standing orders and boat/BdU/FdU messages can be found also on uboatarchive. Indices at the following pages:
