Seller's Description:
Good in Good jacket. Format is approximately 4.5 inches by 7 inches. 84 pages. Maps. Illustrations. Tables. Bibliography. Embossed stamp on fep. Scharnhorst was a German capital ship, alternatively described as a battleship or battlecruiser, of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine. She was the lead ship of her class, which included one other ship, Gneisenau. The books have been divided into two sections: The Battle and Statistical Data. The bottom corner of page 17/18 is missing--no loss of text. DJ has some wear, soiling, and small chip. The Sinking of the Scharnhorst in December 1943, although not realized at the time, was to be the last action of its kind fought by the Royal Navy. During the Battle of the North Cape (26 December 1943), the Royal Navy battleship HMS Duke of York and her escorts sank Scharnhorst. Only 36 men were rescued, out of a crew of 1, 968. This book is the first of a new series which will deal with naval battles of the First and Second World Wars. The sinking of the Scharnhorst in December 1943, although not realized at the time, was to be the last action of its kind fought by the Royal Navy. This is the story of that action. Mr. Watts divides his book into two distinct parts, the first giving a brief but comprehensive history of the naval war, which supplies the necessary background for the understanding of the action. Chapters describe in detail and with the aid of diagrams the movements of the forces engaged the two minor cruiser actions which led ultimately to the sinking of the Scharnhorst. This major action resulted in the destruction of Germany's last operational major warship. The second part of the book consists of 11 tables which list the composition of the various forces, the technical specifications of the warships involved and the detail of the radar and armament.
