Just finished U-Boats Off the Outer Banks. Killer book for anyone who loves U-boats, WWII, maritime history, and shipwreck Diving. Highly recommend.
 
Thank You Erik
It sounds like an interesting book about an interesting time in US history.
The author also seems like and interesting individual with some impeccable credentials

You can get them direct from the author- Jim Bunch. I had him sign mine. He’s a legend. Over 1,000 dives on the U-85 alone. He recovered so much stuff including the enigma. jimbunch039@gmail.com $20 plus shipping

Oh, you mean he pilfered an internationally protected war grave?
 
I really enjoyed U-85:A Shadow In The Sea. Picked it up at local dive shop after diving the U-85 for first time. A lot of neat info.
 
Oh, you mean he pilfered an internationally protected war grave?

I prefer the term salvaged from a sunken enemy vessel that was menacing our shipping lanes. Woe to the vanquished.
