Hi Ken,

I have finished reading the 3rd in the series and it is as good as the rest.

The forth in the series (September 1943 to May 1945) will be published soon & is already being translated into English.

Here are links (Schiffer Publishing) to the 3 volumes already published in English:

The German U-Boat Base at Lorient, France, Vol.1: June 1940-June 1941
[www.schifferbooks.com]

The German U-Boat Base at Lorient, France, Vol. 2: July 1941-July 1942
[www.schifferbooks.com]

The German U-Boat Base at Lorient France: August 1942-August 1943: Volume Three
[www.schifferbooks.com]

These aren’t his only new books though. The following are also available in English now:

German U-Boat Ace Adalbert Schnee: The Patrols of U-201 in World War II
[www.schifferbooks.com]

German U-Boat Ace Rolf Mützelburg: The Patrols of U-203 in World War II
[www.schifferbooks.com]

German U-Boat Ace Peter Cremer: The Patrols of U-333 in World War II
[www.schifferbooks.com]

I already have ones on Adalbert Schnee and Rolf Mützelburg (& they are a good read with plenty of good photos) and I have the one on Peter Cremer on order.

These are also in the works:

Reinhard Hardegen U-123, Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock U-96, Carl Emmermann U-172 and Werner Henke U-515.

They are all coming in the same high quality large format as the Lorient series and they will contain around 220 photos each, many unpublished. They are based on KTBs so they should be accurate. It will be a while before they are available in English though.

Also note that all of the above (except the 4 still in the works of course) are available in English through Amazon.com now.

Regards,

Ken Dunn
