A couple people keep mentioning this fabeled handbook for uboat commanders. I've yet to see it. Im sure it exists, but as an exserviceman, every fiber in my being automatically wants to throw most of it out the window. Books written by REMF's are usually full of crap.

I went on a 135 day patrol to Capetown that was great. And the best part was, I didn't even sink any ships.
