Hi,

Whilst I was in my second patrol I was also reading 'Black May' by Michael Gannon. The story of the turning point in the Atlantic when the war finally turned against the U Boats.

Rivetting stuff but it almost made me retire there and then while I still had a chance to see 1946. One can only salute the stoic courage of the U Boat crews, enemy or not, for continuing in such a lost cause. Not for nervous GWX commanders.
