description: "The heavy cruisers of the Admiral Hipper class were products of Germany's race to rearm in the late 1930s and, for their time, were some of the world's most formidable and revolutionary warships." "This valuable reference book, in the same format as the successful Battleships of the Bismarck Class, Battleships of the Scharnhorst Class and Pocket Battleships of the Deutschland Class, traces the development and building of the class and presents the history of each individual ship. Statistical information and complete technical specifications are included, giving an insight into the performance and potential of each vessel. The career history of each vessel is also outlined and is based on primary sources, extracts from the ships' logs and official battle reports. The text is supported by illustrations technical plans, camouflage drawings and hundreds of previously unpublished photographs, many of them from the private collections of former crew members."--BOOK JACKET.
