Description: Warship Pictorial 47 - German Battlecruisers 1910-1919 by Steve Wiper Publisher : Classic Warships Publishing Available : Dec. 2018 ISBN : 978-0-9969199-5-1 Pictorial format softbound book, 72 pages, 3 color images, 87 B & W images about the German Battlecruisers from the Great War period. This book covers the warships in detail with historic photography, showing all aspects of the different variants, as well as the changes made to the type during their service during the war. As with all "Warship Pictorial" series books, this is yet one more that offers the best photographic coverage of the stated topic. The German "Battle-Cruiser," originally known as the "Large Cruiser," was the final evolution of the Armored Cruiser. The Imperial German Navy built a smaller number of these warships compared to the British Royal Navy, but they were more like the "Fast Battleships" of the Second World War. Their heavy armor and good speed made them a force to be reckoned with. In all battles they were able to sustain a much greater level of damage and survive, with the exception of the LÜTZOW, as compared to the British battlecruiser. This book covers the Von der TANN, MOLTKE, GOEBEN, SEYDLITZ, DERFFLINGER, LÜTZOW, and HINDENBURG, as a photo album, and as a supplement to the fantastic book by Gary Staff, "German Battlecruisers of World War One."
