Yes, having read Iron Coffins, many thoughts have come and gone about the young men who later in '43-'44 had heard enough to know when they missioned, they likely would not return. Shame on those who had the opportunity to increase hull thickness by 9mm in '41 to enable dive depths of 250m +..... and not to forget they knew "snorkel" technology thanks to the Dutch, but did nothing until too late.

I'd like to hear more from you after you've finished the book.
