If you want life aboard a U-Boat, this is very descriptive. From the boredom of endlessly patrolling to the terror of 6 hours of depth charge attack.
I have already read the book and seen the original uncut version. :p

I have ordered the book "Wolf Pack: The Story of U-Boat in World War II" by Gordon Williamson, and just received it today.

My next books:
- Karl Dönitz's Memoirs
- If it exits, an English translation of Karl-Friedrich Merten's anti-Buchheim essay "Wir U-Bootfahrer sagen: "Nein! So war das nicht!""
