Few warship types have had as much written about them as the Kriegsmarine’s capital ships, even though their battleships were so few in number. Recently a growing number of photographs of these ships, many from private albums and some that lay forgotten in obscure archives have been discovered, including many close-ups and onboard shots, of great value to model makers, and rare action photos taken during wartime. Essays on the technical background and design origins detail the full significance of this magnificent collection of photos.
Siegfried Breyer was one of the world’s greatest experts on German warship design and the author of many well regarded books. Miroslaw Skwiot has written widely on naval subjects, including German Naval Guns 1939–1945.
