Recommended U-Boat Reading

[Jonathan M]

Having recently begun playing the GW expansion for Silent Hunter III i am interested in reading up a little on the U-Boats and their war. What books would you recommend to the U-Boatwaffen initiate?

Cheers

U boat Captain By Peter Cremer would be a great start. If you like that one I can reccomed a load more. Any of Lawrence Patterson's books are good as well.

The Golden Horseshoe by Terence Robertson

Written about U-Boat Captain Otto Kretschmer.

Thanks for the replies, but what would be a good read as a general overall history of the U-Boat War?

Thanks

Jonathan

PS Just ordered Iron Coffins as a start

"Shadow Divers" is a must read. Not about the German U-Boats in general but about a U-Boat wreck off the East Coast and the search to find it's identity.

"Hitler's U-Boat War" is a 2 volume set that is a pretty good overall view of the U-boat campaigns.

By the way, GWX 3.0 for SHIII is excellent. I am playing it right now.

Wolf Pack by Gordon Williamson
Wolfpack by Kaplan & Currie
U Boats at war- landings on hostile shores
