Books covering Uboat pens/bunkers?

[McBeck]

Hey

As some of you know, I produce Youtube vidoes and have done a few on uboats.

I am currently doing some initial research on uboat bases and actually have a video of the Valentin bunker scheduled for release this year.
However, when I was looking for material covering the uboat pens in Germany and France, I couldnt find much.

The best I found so far is "U-boat bases and bunkers 1941-45" by Gordon Williamson, but reading the reviews indicate that it lacks depth. Maybe a good easy read, but thats it.

Do you know of other books, which you could recommend?

i bought and read the Kaplan book.
there was, maybe, one chapter on the sub pens being built and then bombed and the rest of the book was an overview of the Battle of the Atlantic.
i was disappointed.

but, i thank you for passing on the recommendation!
