Hi AlexRyassky,
Great idea. Go ahead & do it. just remember it needs to be in English and be about the U-boat War as that is what this forum is all about.
I think there are few books about the soviet contribution to the U-boat War in English. There are plenty about the Soviet contribution to the war on land & some good movies too though. There are some good books about the Allies delivering war supplies to the Soviet Union in English and that topic is discussed here from time to time.
I had a good friend that made the Murmansk run twice delivering supplies. Those were some tough convoys. U-boats and German aircraft went after them on the way there & back & German aircraft while they were unloading too. Not to mention the sever weather. Treatment of the Allied merchant seamen that delivered the goods to the Soviet Union was pretty bad though.
Most of the U-boats that operated against the Soviet Union were the small Type II boats I think & they didn't get a lot of press.
Good luck getting the official documents from the Soviet Archives and getting them translated into English though.
Regards,
Ken Dunn
