None in English that really detail operations. Most of the ones which are found in Amazon tend to be more illustrative than text driven.
Lawrence Pattersen has a book forthcoming from the USNI on S Boat operations.

In German language, the Hummelchen book is the best although OOP.

Were you looking for German or English.

I'm looking for books in English. Paterson's book looks good. I have read some of his U-Boat books, and he's one of the best U-boat historians I've read. I definitely have to buy it. Thank you.

though a good concise book on the S-Boot arm is needed in English the question beckons will this be a re-hash in English of Hümmelchens classic work ?

the best materials on the net are at : atlantik-pirat.com

for Kommandeurs and crews plus the correction of numerous mistakes on S-Boots throughout most texts.

join the forums and check the numerous threads we have under S-Boot. more here in the way of info than any other spot on the net even Dave's great web-site at prinzeugen.com which deals with the Boots themselves.
