As with all of the Images of War series you get a ton of photos and considering the cost of the book it’s a good bang for your money. All the images are period black & white photos and all are captioned thoroughly and a page or two of narrative that starts each chapter.

A well-illustrated book, this is a fine case study in the effect of war as a transformative catalyst in weapons development with inventors, scientists, engineers, manufactures and soldiers interacting together to develop new and ever-more efficient ways of killing their fellow men. Recommended.

The most striking thing about this book is the illustrations. There are a great number of photographs, the majority, not surprisingly, being onboard shots of the gun mountings, but also including some lovely photographs of the complete ship. There are also a number of views of computer generated 3D models of the mountings which show a great amount of detail, frequently not obvious in photographs, which will be a great help to any modeller.
For those intending to model any WWII German warship, this book is a must.
