Hi All,

Not only are the Milchkühe poorly represented on the Internet as Maciek points out, there is little available anywhere else that I have been able to find. The lack of documentation on the Type XIV is truly sad. Especially photos taken inside one.

That said, these are the two best books on them I have found:

Urbanke, Axel. Suppliers of the Grey Wolves - The Story of the German Submarine Tankers 1941-44. LuftfahrtVerlag – Start, Bad, Germany, 2013. ISBN: 978-3-941437-14-2. Copyright: Luftfahrtverlag-Start, Bad Zwischenahn – Inh. Axel Urbanke 2013. This is the latest one & it definitely recommended. Great info & photos. From the same folks that bring us the excellent “U-boot im Focus” series.

White, John F. U-Boat Tankers 1941-45 Submarine Suppliers to Atlantic Wolf Packs. Annapolis, MD: Naval Institute Press, 1998. ISBN: 1-55750-861-5. Copyright: John F. White, 1998. This is the first one I found & it contains a lot of good info too and some photos.

Regards,

Ken Dunn
