Descripción
This volume covers the seven German battlecruisers that saw service in the First World War, as well as their hybrid predecesor Blücher and the uncompleted Makensen and Ersatz Yorck classes. Designed to a different philosophy from their British equivalents -more fast battleships than big-gun cruisers – they famously survived massive damage at Dogger Bank and Jutland, establishing a reputation which has generated admiration and interest among warship enthusiasts ever since.
