The warships of the World War II German Navy are among the most popular subjects in naval history, and one of the best collections is the concise but authoritative six volume series written by Gerhard Koop and illustrated by Klaus-Peter Schmolke. Each book contains an account of the development of a particular class, a detailed description of the ships, with full technical details, and an outline of their service, and are heavily illustrated with plans, battle maps and a substantial collection of photographs. The first five volumes of this much sought after series are now available in paperback, with the sixth volume German Light Cruisers of World War II, planned for release in the fall of 2014. This volume covers the Admiral Hipper class, among the largest heavy cruisers to serve in World War II. Intended to be a class of five, they enjoyed contrasting fortunes: Seydlitz and L???tzow were never completed; Bl???cher was the first major German warship sunk in action; Admiral Hipper became one of the most successful commerce raiders of the war; while the Prinz Eugen survived to be expended as a target in one of the first American nuclear tests in 1946.

Seller's Description:
Klaus-Peter Schmolke. Very good. 208 pages. Oversized book, measuring 9-1/2 inches by 7-1/2 inches. Front and back stiff covers have flaps. Illustrations (photographs, diagrams). Table Maps Includes Preface, Bibliography, and Index of Ships. Topics covered include development and Construction, Technical specifications, Scale Plans, Camouflage Schemes, and Conclusions. Also contains information on the origin of the names of the warships Admiral Hipper, Blucher, Prinz Eugen, Seydlitz, and Lutzow. This is part of the Warships of the Kriegsmarine series. A short biography of the personality after whom each ship was named is followed by a comprehensive selection of photographs, preference being given to those rarely seen previously or appearing in a publication for the first time. Gerhard Koop served in the Kriegsmarine in the Second World War and then in the postwar Federal German Navy until his retirement in 1981. He was a widely published author on naval technology and maritime historical subjects, as well as translating many English-language navel books into German. Perhaps his greatest achievement was a series of six volume--of which this is one--covering the major surface warships to the wartime German navy.
