I know some have been critical of Iron Coffins, but I liked it a lot it killed me towards the end of the book when Werner was on that train going to see if his family was ok after he couldn't get in touch with them, just to run into a friend of his sister on the train who pretty much breaks the news to him that they're all gone. But I thought it was a good book over all. I'm now reading Das Boot an it's long lol, but definitely like it just now getting to the chapter first attack finally lol, it does seem like a lot of the beginning of the book is the author describing what the sky an Atlantic looked like. You can tell they changed the Captains a lot from book to movie, "The Old Man" as he's called in the book almost seems like he's depressed or bi-polar most the time, until now that they're racing to intercept a convoy.
