I loved Iron Coffins. And I do forgive Werner for embellishing his (at the time) 25 year old memories. It was a great read and really put you in the mindset of these men.

When I was done reading it, I gave the book to my father as he said he hadn't read a lot of German U-boat material. My father served on the USS Skate in the late 60's and, while that was a bit after the WW2 era, after he finished it he said that book was spot on when it comes to what it was like being a submariner.
