Editorial Reviews

Review

I read this 3 years ago,and this is a super, illustrated book about a much-neglected period of German Naval History.The depth of research is very good, the illustrations are superb, including rare photographs of Wrecks of famous ships like "Scheer", I think it is an essential addition for anyone interested in German Naval History, or of World War Two.The companion to Hitlers Naval War by Cajus Beeker --By David I. Walker

This book is a brilliant account of the final year for the Kriegsmarine. It is the story of a doomed generation of sailors who bravely and hopelessly went to battle knowing that theirs was a hopeless cause. Tarrant (as usual) provides an interseting text, and keeps the book moving along. He gives you a good impression of the overwhelming force deployed by the Allies at the end of the Second World War. --By Michael Knight

what a book. read this and the other two books in the trilogy and you find it easy to understand how germany lost the war --By robert michael lowe

Great detail on the final year of the german navy - highly recommended

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2014

I loved reading this book. The author gives great detail on the actions of the German navy in the final year of the war. I've never found any other source that gives such detailed information on those activities. A lot of general books will almost stop covering the U-Boats after the large convoy battles of May 43 and will only cover the major surface units of the German navy.

For example, he gives an exceptional account of the activities of the minor surface units the German navy had in the Mediterranean.

I wish he would write such detail on the other years of the war. I would gladly buy those books and read them right away.

A tribute to hopeless gallantry.
