Description: BATTLESHIPS Of The SCHARNHORST CLASS The Scharnhorst and Gneisenau: The Backbone of the German Surface Forces at the Outbreak of WarWarships of the Kriegsmarineby Gerhard Koop & Klaus-Peter Schmolke The warships of the World War II era German Navy are among the most popular subject in naval historywith an almost uncountable number of books devoted to them. However, for a concise but authoritativesummary of the design history and careers of the major surface ships it is difficult to beat a series ofvolumes written by Gerhard Koop and illustrated by Klaus-Peter Schmolke. Each contains an account of the development of a particular class, a detailed description of the ships, withfull technical details, and an outline of their service, heavily illustrated with plans, battle maps and a substantial collection of photographs. These have been out of print for ten years or more and are now much sought after by enthusiasts and collectors,so this new modestly priced reprint of the series will be widely welcomed. Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, the subject of this volume, were the product of a long, involved andpolitically determined design process that saw them develop from an improved Pocket Battleshipto what many described as a battlecruiser, although they were really fast battleships. They were the most active, and successful, of the Kriegesmarine's major warships, taking partin numerous famous operations, including the infamous 'Channel Dash'. oooooooooooooo 7½ by 9¼ Inch Trim SizeSOFT COVER 176 Pages OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO «—————» ☞ BUY WITH CONFIDENCE ☜ PLEASE DO HAVE A LOOK AT MY OTHER AUCTIONS Thank You,George F.
