Kriegsmarine The Illustrated History Of The German Navy In WWII
by Robert Jackson

This pictorial record explains the Kriegsmarines World War I roots and its rebuilding in contravention to the Treaty of Versailles before going on to examine the rebirth of the German U-boat fleet, the use of commerce raiders like the Atlantis and Komet, the naval campaigns in which the German navy participated, and Kriegsmarine leaders. 

IN A NUTSHELL: 
Kriegsmarine: The Illustrated History of the German Navy in WWII, by Robert Jackson, is organized into chapters which deal with a class or classes of vessel. Good illustrations are well integrated into a somewhat lackluster text. There are also a number of errors, most probably due to editing throughout the text. These errors come in several different flavors: Dates of events, such as the launch date of the Tirpitz, strategic spelling, such as 'flnak' when flank was obviously meant, and arithmetic, such as '88mm' guns being notated as '4.46 inches' rather than '3.46'. This type of error abounds and makes it very distracting to read.
