'Total Germany'

by David Wragg
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
The author of A Century of British Naval Aviation, 1909-2009 examines the losses and successes of the Royal Navy during World War Two.
 
On the declaration of war in 1939, the British Admiralty signaled all warships and naval bases “Total Germany, Total Germany.”
 
It was fortunate that of Germany’s three armed services, the Kriegsmarine under Grosseradmiral Erich Raeder was the least well prepared. True, Admiral Karl Donitz’s U-Boat force was to give the Allies many anxious times, but Hitler was never comfortable or competent in his handling of naval surface forces.
 
“Total Germany” is a concise yet comprehensive account of the Royal Navy’s part in the war at sea and the measures taken to ensure victory. The different approaches taken by the warring countries are expertly examined. The author reviews the differing strategies and tactics of the various theatres such as the Far East, Mediterranean, Atlantic and Arctic.
 
“Not only does it cover every major event during WWII the author brings up some other less well known actions. A thoroughly enjoyable read.”—Ton Class Association
