Exploring everything from small coastal vessels to giant battleships, Kriegsmarine is a pictorial record of Germany's naval forces before and during World War II. The German Navy, or Kriegsmarine, fought a valiant campaign in World War II. Though her surface fleet was small, German ships such as the Graf Spee, Bismarck, and Tirpitz tied down a substantial amount of Allied naval resources, and her U-boats almost starved Britain into surrender. This illustrated history tells the dramatic story of the Kriegsmarine through 250 photographs, many rare or previously unpublished. It covers everything from the rebirth of the U-boat fleet and the new pocket battleships to the small-scale actions that occurred later in the war. There are accounts and images of the ships in action, including at the Battle of the River Plate and the sinking of the Bismarck.

Though the German Navy's World War II surface fleet was relatively small, ships like the Graf Spee, Bismarck, and Tirpitz tied down a substantial portion of Allied naval resources for much of the war, while its U-boat fleet wreaked terror with merchant vessels and nearly starved Britain into surrender. This pictorial record explains the Kriegsmarine's World War I roots and its rebuilding in contravention to the Treaty of Versailles before going on to examine the rebirth of the German U-boat fleet, the use of commerce raiders like the Atlantis and Komet, the naval campaigns in which the German navy participated, and Kriegsmarine leaders. Everything from small coastal vessels to U-boats to giant battleships are illustrated with previously unpublished images of the Kriegsmarine in action.
