What are the best five U-Boat books? - Page 2

banryu79 · 03-19-14, 09:12 AM

Nice thread, I know I will benefit from it and will grab some of the books mentioned here, thanks for the useful necroposting

Ok, it is a little OT maybe, cause this thread is about UBOAT books but I stumble upon this interesting page:
http://yarchive.net/mil/russian_sub_book.html

And after having red it I did a small search on the web. Looks like the book mentioned there is a "rare" book?
Cause I only found French version of this book, look here:
http://www.amazon.fr/dramatique-hist.../dp/2221071379
and there:
http://www.amazon.com/dramatique-his...rds=2221071379

I would like to buy it, it looks so interesting to me... but even if I can (very slowly) read French for me will be much better an English edition.
Anyone know anything about it?

Two of any five of your choice: required reading for every subsimmer! http://www.amazon.com/Hitlers-U-Boat-War-Hunted-1942-1945/dp/0679457429 Hitler's Uboat-War; Volume I & II

Vol I: the Hunters 1939-1942; Vol II: the Hunted 1942-1945 ...a bit tedious but rock-solid straight info and you really get it (the history) all down! You get both of these 'bibles under your belt', it's a considerable accomplishment. A salute in advance!

Time for zombie thread to comeback to life once more

Are there any good books about Long range U-boats? Type IX?
I have found U-Boats Beyond Biscay is it any good?
