• A comprehensive breakdown of the Kriegsmarine, with every fact and figure you will ever need to know about the German Navy
• 150 photos, diagrams and maps
Germany’s navy, the Kriegsmarine, played a critical role in the Third Reich’s attempt to restrict the flow of supplies, men and materiel from the United States to Britain in the early years of the war and from North America and Britain to the Soviet Union from 1941.
Such was the success of the U-boats in particular, by the end of the war more than 3000 Allied ships with a 14.5 million combined gross tonnage had been sent to the bottom of the sea. World War II Data Book: The Kriegsmarine, 1939–45 gets behind this massive organisation to reveal the workings of the German Navy through its organisation, command structure, economic resources, production figures, recruitment, training and philosophy.
Broken down by key campaigns and subject areas, the book includes exhaustive reference tables, diagrams, colourful maps and charts, presenting all the core data in easy-to-follow formats. World War II Data Book: The Kriegsmarine, 1939–45 is an essential reference guide for anyone interested in the history and structure of Germany’s wartime navy.
