Battleship Gneisenau,
This review is from: The German Battleship Gneisenau (Schiffer Military History) (Paperback)
A small book which deals with the Battlecruiser Gneisenau. This was probably the least successful of the battleship/battlecruiser's in Hitler's fleet, having been laid down in 1935 and removed from service in 1942. It was planned to lengthen the ship and change the gun caliber to 380cm, but when Hitler decided to concentrate on U-boats, the ship was left in non-repair, with the remaining main guns removed to Norway and the ship left in disrepair. When the Russians neared the area of Danzig/Gotenhafen, the ship was taken to the mouth of the harbor and sunk as a block ship. I purchased the book to see if it gave any information on what happened to the ship after it was bombed by British and towed east to repair it. I was especially interested in what the ship looked like and what happened to it, and the the book covers this in a few pictures, which is OK, but needs more
to cover it more fully.
