German Destroyers of World War II

 

This detailed illustrated history traces the building and wartime deployment of Germany's destroyers and presents the war record of each individual ship alongside hundreds of rare photographs. Statistical information and complete technical specifications are included, giving an insight into the performance and potential of each vessel. The text is not only supported by photographs from private collections but technical plans, camouflage drawings and maps also feature. Germany's destroyers played a significant role in the operations of the German Navy in World War II. The destroyers were involved in some of the key operations - from the invasion of Norway to the defence of the Baltic ports in early 1945 - as well as essential tasks such as escort duties, anti-submarine patrols and minelaying in the North Sea.
