Paul Beaver | German Capital Ships - Photo album 14

Broché, couv. souple, lég. insolé. TBE Headed by the Bismarck and Tirpitz, the sleek and powerful battleships and cruisers of the German Navy posed a massive threat to Allied convoys during World War 2 yet, with certain exceptions, exerted a remarkably small influence on the course of the conflict. This book explains why and, more significantly, shows these majestic warships in all their splendour through a selection of remarkable photographs taken from official German wartime archives. It is thus a unique record of the end of an era in naval history and will be of equal value to historians, enthusiasts and model makers. (amettre)"
