RADM Thomas J. Patterson
5.0 out of 5 stars U-950 and the Commander's Knight's Cross to the Iron Cross
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2000
From Rear Admiral Tom Patterson, Captain of the Jeremiah O'Brien, a Liberty Ship now berthed in San Francisco: "Congratulations on this outstanding document of the German submarine force, their "Happy Times" and their ultimate defeat. I identified with your book from sailing in the North Atlantic and the South Pacific in World War II. The convoys, independent steaming through Mona Pass, sinuous course clocks, gasoline laden tankers all were remembered while reading this excellent, well researched book. I learned a lot I never knew from your book". RADM Thomas J. Patterson, U.S. Maritime Service(Ret)
