Decker, Hans-Joachim
‘404 DAYS, THE WAR PATROL LIFE of the GERMAN U-505’

Article in USNI PROCEEDINGS, March 1960, pages 33 - 35, 10 photographs.

The story of U-505, the boat at Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry, as told by one of her former crewmen, who was a mechanic on the boat for all her voyages. The article concentrates on events, but has few insights into life in the U-Boat service.
