This book is an outstanding book about the little known German Warship Admiral Hipper which went on to survive World War Two. Only to be destroyed in the Bikini Island Atomic Bomb Test as so many other captured ships from that conflict were. Shame when you consider that these ships could have been GREAT show pieces of living history had they not been so carelesly abused.

Gerhard Koop & Klaus-Peter Schmolke. See all. Item description. This valuable reference book traces the development and building of ships in the class and presents the career history of each vessel, drawn from ships' logs and official battle reports. About this item.

Of the five heavy cruisers allowed by the Anglo-German Naval Treaty of 1935 only . There is an interested contrast here with his book on German light cruisers, where he was very critical of the ships themselves.

Of the five heavy cruisers allowed by the Anglo-German Naval Treaty of 1935 only three were ever completed. The fourth was chosen for conversion to an aircraft carrier, but not completed in that role either, and the fifth abandoned while under construction. The three that were completed had very different fates. The Admiral Hipper was wrecked by RAF bombs in 1945. This entry in Koop's impressive series on German warships looks at all five of these ships, with the most material on the three that were completed.
