Deutsche Kriegsschiffe -Das kaiserliche Ostasien-Geschwader 1859-1914
19,94 €Because Imperial Germany wanted to become a world power, it tried to be present on all the world’s oceans and to acquire colonies. The naval units should protect them, enforce claims and show strength. They did not always have pure representational measures, as the Boxer Rebellion proves.
In this new publication, naval expert Hans Karr dedicates himself to Germany’s maritime colonial history. He describes the foreign cruisers and stations, the naval base Tsingtau, the East Asian cruiser squadron from 1897 to 1914 and its ships of the Asian and Australian stations. -

Marinetechnik des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Entwicklung, Einsatz, Konsequenzen
34,90 €Before and during the Second World War, naval technology underwent perhaps its most fundamental change: proud battleships such as the Bismarck or the Yamato were soon only suitable as museum pieces after the advent of aircraft carriers. Many developments, such as the use of submarines, were based on the experience gained during WW1.
Hans Karr traces the important technological developments of weapons up to the end of WW2. Starting with the submarines and surface forces up to the advances in weaponry in armament above and underwater, he explains their fundamental change in meaning.
Throughout illustrated with b/w pictures, colour pictures as well as tables.
