War literature

I am sure many of you have seen the German Movie "Das Boot" (The Boat).
If you haven't it is a must see in my opinion, try to see the director's cut.

But of course it is originally a book by Lothar-Günther Buchheim. The story itself didn't actually happen but the author has been on several patrols and everything that happens on Das Boot are things he actually experienced during the war. I can really recommend this book. As a side note: I also play Silent Hunter 3 with the GWX mod.

The thrilling wartime novel that inspired Wolfgang Petersen's Academy Award-nominated, blockbuster film! Written by an actual survivor of Germany's U-boat fleet, Das Boot is one of the most exciting stories of naval warfare ever published, a tale filled with almost unbearable tension and suspense. In autumn 1941, a German U-boat commander and his crew set out on yet another hazardous patrol in the Battle of the Atlantic. Over the coming weeks they brave the ocean's stormy waters and seek out British supply ships to destroy. But their targets travel in well-guarded convoys. When contact finally occurs, the hunter quickly becomes the hunted, and a cat-and-mouse game begins as the U-boat hides deep beneath the surface of the sea. Soon, claustrophobia becomes an enemy almost as frightening as the depth charges exploding around them.
