What Dönitz did after leaving prison

A brief biographical question points readers toward Dönitz's postwar books while warning that the writing is judged poor.

Question

What did Dönitz do after he was released from prison?

Short answer

He wrote books that are worth reading for his postwar self-presentation, though the writing is judged poor.

Notes

After leaving prison, Dönitz wrote books. They are worth reading for anyone studying how he presented his career after the war, although the writing is judged poor. That assessment is strong enough that a review is ruled out.
