“HITLER’s NAVAL WAR" By Cajus Bekker. Hitler had promised his Admiral’s, “No war with Britain until 1944,” so when war broke out in 1939, the German Navy was undermanned and under-armed, with only two full-sized battleships and two “pocket battleships” to face the mighty Royal Navy, who had fifteen battleships! Yet Germany’s Supreme Commander Raeder and others came within a breadth of turning the War in their favor. Here, based on hitherto unavailable documents, is a saga of incredible victories and equally amazing failures––of brave men and gallant ships on both sides. Author Cajus Bekker, who also wrote “The Luftwaffe War Diaries”, is also a former World War II German naval intelligence officer. 1977 Paperback edition. 400 pages, 65 black and white photos, 12 maps, 2 diagrams 20 page appendix, with an index. As noted in the above photo, the cover is dog-eared. Inside pages are in good condition.
