I thought that his love affair with the french girl was particularly sad, and in some ways i can relate to that part of the story personally.
Steel boats iron hearts is probably one of my favorite U-boat books.

Good read
The author when alive, used to give impromptu tours of U-505. Must have been quite the experience for those lucky enough to witness this.
