I'm currently reading "Die Festung" by Lothar-Günther Buchheim. He's also the author who wrote "Das Boot", the book that has been bastardised by Sky.

It's an autobiography starting mid 1944 until the end of the war telling his experiences as a war correspondent of the navy for example how he got trapped in Brest after D-Day and escaped on an overcrowded submarine.

Although he doesn't seem like the most pleasant person to be around his writing style is really captivating and I really enjoy reading his stuff.

I highly recommend it although I think it's only available in German.
