Re: Review: Dönitz's last gamble
Many thanks Marcus. I didn't have time to review this latest book of Lawrence's other than very cursorily, but I did his previous volume, U-boat Combat Missions, here:

Re: Review: Dönitz's last gamble
there is an excellent essay on UBoat.net on the discovery of UBoat wrecks off the UKs west coast, The loss of U235, U400 & U1021 which deals precisely with this subject and timeframe.

Re: Review: Dönitz's last gamble
The one he did with all the 'unseen photos' which he found in a box at the submarine museum was excellent, too. He used to live around the corner from me and I had a long chat with him one day about all his research. He has reams and reams of microfilms at his house (which are rather easier to store than the 100+ lever arch and box files in mine... )Andy H wrote:Hi Richard
