Just started reading Nightmare At Scapa Flow - The Truth About The Sinking Of The 'Royal Oak' by H.J. Weaver. Apparently, There were a few myths about what actually happened when U47 sneaked into the anchorage. This book looks at different accounts on what actually happened by surviving crew members and other witness accounts that came to light after the war.

Another interesting read is 'U boat Bases & Bunkers 1940 -1945' by Williamson Gordon. This book gives an account of the massive structures built in France, Germany & Norway, to house the U boats. There is also references to other German U boat bases in Greece, Croatia (as it is now) and other bases in the Far East. Not just a reference book, but gives an account of what life was like for those who worked in them and lived around them.
