I read the Gunner Asch stories years ago and loved them = The 08/15 stories = in English:
The Revolt of Gunner Asch
Forward Gunner Asch
The Return of Gunner Asch
What became of Gunner Asch
by Hans Kirst.

Gotta go with you on the Gunner Asch books. I just love his relationships with officers of all kinds and his descriptions of cooking are simply magnificent!
