Om den här e-boken
This WWII military history presents stunning, never-before-published photographs from life aboard the infamous German Battleship Tirpitz.
The photos in this book are taken from an unpublished album that belonged to a Tirpitz crewmember. It is a little-known fact that before the start of World War Two, the ship went on a shakedown voyage into the Atlantic, traveling north into Arctic waters and south into the more tropical climbs of the Caribbean. There are superb photos of the officers and crew both above and below decks, including some unique shots of the crew during their stint on a magnificent sail training vessel.
Other stunning images show the vessels mighty weapons engaged in gunnery practice during her sea trials. This unique collection gives a close-up view of one of the most powerful ships of World War Two, a ship that proved to be a persistent thorn in the side of the Royal Navy until it was sunk in Norway towards the end of the war.
