Synopsis
This book discusses the concept of the Battlekreuzer. The German Großerkreuzers, as they were known, were built to strict financial limits, and therefore the German designs were always a compromise between the factors listed under design philosophy. Individual ship histories are detailed with particular emphasis upon their battle experience and deployment in conflict, and author Gary Staff includes a variety of official records and personal first-hand accounts will be used. The battlekreuzer had a remarkable ability to withstand battle damage, as demonstrated by the Goeben, which suffered five mine hits on one occasion. Full colour artwork plates and detailed line drawings and photographs support the and enrich the engaging text.

Review
“Overall, this is a superb book on the type and an excellent primer for those who want to get the basic on these most interesting ships.” ―Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com
“...German BattleCruisers 1914-18 is a fascinating account of one of the main types of warships comprising the heart of the German Navy during World War One... the book is finely written and extraordinarily researched. It would appeal to and make a valuable addition in the library of naval and maritimes historians, scale modellers, naval architechts, naval ordnance specialists, marine engineers and those interested in the ships and history of the Imperial German Navy. The book is highly recommended.” ―Mark R Condeno, Canadian Army Journal (Fall 2007)

Product Description:The task of Germanyâs new GroÃe Kreuzer at the beginning of the 20th century was to form an independent reconnaissance division that was able to perform special tasks. With a speed superiority of at least 3 knots, they should also be capable of fighting in the line, and would thus require heavy armor and good defensive qualities. The battle cruisers that were built did indeed have a remarkable ability to withstand battle damage, as demonstrated by the Goober, which suffered five mine hits on one occasion. This title details all the classes of German battle cruiser, with particular emphasis on each individual shipâs battle experience and deployment in conflict. Seller Inventory # 2149266834
