"I was on a sub in the 1960’s. We hit a underwater mountain and almost sunk! So I could relate to the author’s experiences. It’s a Good Story! The author’s attitude changed at the end. Although he was a Hitler Youth he claimed he never was a Nazi, he went on too much about it and it turned me off. I believe that the author has mixed loyalties. The Nazi party or the German homeland. He also defended the rumor that the 505 was a unlucky boat. These 2 subjects got old. Worth reading however!"
