Seller's Description:
Fine. 1854091697. Illustrated with black & white photographs, maps and diagrams. Fine blue cloth hardback with a fine dustjacket. No inscriptions or marks. The story of the final 12 months of the war in Europe reveals the increasing desperation as Allied industrial bombing, superiority at sea and German technical delays ensured that the new 'wonder' weapons never delivered their potential. Unable to prevent the Allied invasion of Europe, the Kriegsmarine could only rely on small battle units-E-boats, the odd destroyer or U-boat, and bizarre semi-suicide weapons-to attack the vast amount of invasion shipping off Normandy.; 8vo 8"-9" tall; 256 pages.
