zxc23,

Iron Coffins (which i've had now for about 4 years or so) is a good book no doubt about that,but it is important to note that it is more centred on Werner's personal stories and experiences in the war rather than containing much tehnical material (if that is what you are after,however there are a few tehnical drawings at the front of the book),and there has even been debate as to the accuracy of some of the author's experiences,maybe some of them were elaborated to thrill the reader more,but still a great read! and a sad one at times.

Technical material is not what I'm after

The stories are just as good I agree

Iron Coffins is still a winner and a popular choice for U-Boat enthusiasts.
