I visited the XIIth Submarine Flotilla Memorial at Kylesku last week and would like to find out a bit more. These were the men who manned the X-Craft submarines and human torpedoes. Can anyone recommend some good books on their exploits? Cheers Adam
Hiya; I have not seen a specific book on the X craft. There is a lot of info online about operations though. Try : http://web.ukonline.co.uk/chalcraft/sm/xcraft.html for a start if not already seen. This book about the Tirpitz raid - Gallagher, Thomas THE X-CRAFT RAID Harcourt 1971. or Kemp, Paul MIDGET SUBMARINES of the Second World War Caxton 1999 [review here http://www.epinions.com/content_156604927620] and he also wrote Kemp, Peter UNDERWATER WARRIORS Brockhampton 1999. cheers MG
No problems I only wish I had time to look into half the interesting stuff people discuss, apart from my own research! Regards MG
