Gordon Williamson examines the design, development and operational use of the battleships used by the Kriegsmarine during World War II.
The ‘Schlesien’ and ‘Schleswig-Holstein’ were used mostly as training ships until the end of the war when they took part in bombardment of Soviet troop movements in East Prussia. The ‘Scharnhorst’ had a successful career until her sinking at the battle of the North Cape, and the ‘Gneisenau’ with her ignominious end as a block-ship.
Bismarck''s short but glorious career and Tirpitz''s lonely vigil in Norway''s distant Fjords until sunk by RAF bombers using the massive ''Tallboy'' bombs are also covered.
