Books on the Baltic fleet ww2?

Cheers,

Im doing some research regarding the baltic fleet submarines and need to find some books. I understand Morozovs work is essential although hard to find. (I have two) I also have knowledge of some older books in Russian. BUT are there any good readings in English, German or any other language than Russian that would be of intererest?

I have some works of Rowher: Stalins ocean going fleet and Allied submarine attacks of ww2.

Any tips?

Cheers, J

Unfortunately not, only recent Russian language publications, Morozov , Platonov, have been written based on the documents from both, German and Soviet, sides. There are no English translations yet, and not likely to see them in the future, considering very low interest to this topic in the West

Rowher was good back then but now is completely obsolete and rather inaccurate in information regarding Soviet Navy

If it's English you need here's a possibility:
The Rise and Fall of the Soviet Navy in the Baltic 1921-1941

Morozov just published the monumental book on Soviet submarines in WW2 which is significantly revised and updated as compared with his previous works. According to him, there are chances that it will be published in English as well, so might be worth waiting
