Heavy Cruisers of the Admiral, Hipper and Prinz Eugen Class
by Miroslaw Skwiot
Published 1 November 2010
This lavishly illustrated volume in the War Camera Photobooks series presents a detailed photo history of the heavy cruisers which served with the German Navy, the Kriegsmarine, during World War II.
The heavy cruiser was a type of naval warship designed for long range, high speed and an armament of naval guns roughly 203mm calibre (8 inches). The heavy cruiser can be seen as a lineage of ship design from 1915 until 1945, although the term 'heavy cruiser' only came into formal use in 1930. The heavy cruiser's immediate precursors were the light cruiser designs of the 1900s and 1910s, rather than the armoured cruisers of before 1905.
With numerous aerial, close-up, profile and“in action” photographs, this book is an exceptional reference guide for both modellers and historians alike.
