German Battleships of World War Two in Action

For all of you naval modelers and historians out there, here is a new one to fill that information void. German Battleships of World War Two in Action provides nice coverage of a variety of Germany's capital ships, including the Schleswig-Holstein, Deutschland, Admiral Scheer, Bismarck, Scharnhorst, Gneidenau and Tirpitz.

The author has compiled an interesting array of historical photographs to illustrate key details of each vessel and how some of those details changed over time. In addition, the author conveys through the narrative and captions the overall development of the German battleships and many of the significant actions each faced during their operational lives.

There is a section at the rear of the title that covers the catapult launched aircraft operated aboard these ships.

This is another nice release from Squadron/Signal Publications and you'll definitely want to have this one on your shelf. You can get this title from your favorite book seller, hobby shop, or directly from Squadron Mail Order (www.squadron.com).

My sincere thanks to Squadron Mail Order for this review sample!
