Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is the best account thus far in my reading experiences on the Germany Navy. This book not only describes how the German navy evolved throughout the course of World War II but how it evolved in the post-World War I world leading up and into WWII. This is a great buy even though the amount of money is a little steep.

This latest addition to Sutton's 'Handbook' series takes an overall look at the Kriegsmarine, or German Navy, as it evolved during the Second World War. It was founded in 1935 shortly after the emergence of the Nazi State, but went through a major re-organisation in 1939. The Kriegsmarine is synonymous with such infamous Second World War battleships as the Bismarck, Scharnhorst and Tirpitz, and for the marauding U-boat packs which nearly defeated Great Britain in the Battle of the Atlantic.In particular the book concentrates on the origins of the Kriegsmarine in the post-Versailles Treaty era and its resurgence under the Nazi regime. The author describes the training and organisation of the German Navy during the war years and examines the different roles of the Fleet. Comprehensive technical data is provided for ships and U-boats and a separate chapter looks at the wide range of uniforms and insignia worn by men of the German Navy.
