The warships of the World War II era German Navy are among the most
popular subject in naval history with an almost uncountable number
of books devoted to them. However, for a concise but authoritative
summary of the design history and careers of the major surface
ships it is difficult to beat a series of six volumes written by
Gerhard Koop and illustrated by Klaus-Peter Schmolke. Each contains
an account of the development of a particular class, a detailed
description of the ships, with full technical details, and an
outline of their service, heavily illustrated with plans, battle
maps and a substantial collection of photographs. These have been
out of print for ten years or more and are now much sought after by
enthusiasts and collectors, so this new modestly priced reprint of
the series will be widely welcomed. Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, the
subject of this volume, were the product of a long, involved and
politically determined design process that saw them develop from an
improved Pocket Battleship to what many described as a
battlecruiser, although they were really fast battleships. They
were the most active, and successful, of the Kriegesmarine's major
warships, taking part in numerous famous operations, including the
infamous 'Channel Dash'.
