audiobook Waterloo Beyond (Bradt Travel Guide Peruvian Wildlife) by Antony Mason in History

Description

After the end of World War I; the German Navy came up with the concept of the Panzerschiffe; or Pocket Battleship; as a method of circumventing treaty limitations on the size and types of ship Germany was permitted to build. New; more modern production methods; where welded construction prevailed over the older riveting process; were combined with the development of modern engines capable of fast speeds and a very powerful armament; far superior to that on any enemy Cruisers. This book covers these three sister ships; the 'Deutschland'; the 'Admiral Graf Spee' and the 'Admiral Scheer'; which formed the core of the Kriegsmarine's fighting power at the start of World War II.
