This second volume on the four German battleships of the Second World War period covers Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, Bismarck and Tirpitz from early 1939 through to the sinking of Bismarck in May 1941. This pictorial covers the ships with previously unpublished images collected from all over the world by this author. This 72 page edition is considered volume two, as WP39 will be considered volume one, and has come about due to the extensive collection of images from the author’s personal collection.
