@ABWorsham4 I’m currently reading George Marshall, Defender of the Republic.
I finished Hitler’s Secret Pirate Fleet by James Duffy. Also I read a 1955 classic, The Secret Raiders by David Woodward. These two books finished my quest for knowledge of German Commerce Raiders.

Currently I am reading a book called Seizing the Enigma: The Race to Break the German U-boat Codes. So far it has been pretty interesting.
