Summary

The Deutschland, Admiral Scheer and Admiral Graf Spee were revolutionary warships when they first appeared in the 1930s and proved formidable opponents in World War II.
This reference book, a companion to Battleships of the Bismarck Class and Battleships of the Scharnhorst Class, traces the development of the class and charts its wartime career. Detailed statistical information is included with the career history of each vessel, supplemented by extracts from the ships' logs and official battle reports. The text is supported by illustrations throughout: technical plans, camouflage drawings and hundreds of photographs.
