Always thought I had a reasonably well stocked reference library....but got to admit I only have the second book :hmm:

If you look for the ultimate book, I recommend the last book to you.
It contains numerous b/w photos, drawings, color profiles, sea charts and specifications. (Language: English)

It is almost all submarine Captains contains, Submarine classes I, II, VII, IX, XXI, XXIII, all about the small combat Units like: "Hecht" (Pike), "Hai" (Shark) "Seeteufel (Seadevil), "Tümmler" (Dolphin) and many more.
The price in Germany amounts to approximately 100 Euro for it (~ 131 USD)
However, it may be very dearly that itself rewards !!

I even bought myself this book approximately one year ago, and it became a manual for me.


Deutsch: "Allzeit gute Fahrt und immer eine Handbreit Wasser unter dem Kiel".
English: "Always good trip and always a hand width water under the keel".

Best Regards from Germany..

so you learn a little bit of Dutch now.

I have the first two. I like them both, especially the first one. It has well written text about the u-boats in WWII that is condensed quite a bit. Makes it easy to read a chapter or two without needing to commit a lot of time. I'll often refer to it to see what they have to say about the time period I am currently experiencing in the game. The photos are nice as well.

I guess i will have to get one so i can read it.
