Ten Years and Twenty Days: Memoirs of Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz LINK
Written by Doenitz himself once he was released from 10 years in Spandau prison. He describes everything from the build up of the U boats post WWI to him taking over as the head of the German Navy to finally spending 20 days as the head of the German state once Hitler was pushing daisies.
The final chapters are an incredible look into the German head of states mind and the decisions that were made WRT the fall of the eastern and western fronts.
As a former submariner as well, the book was absolutely fascinating.
