This is a ship biography of a major vessel in the WW2 Kriegsmarine. Interesting, and sensational text, but not well mapped. The ship was launched in 1936, and had a livelier career than Bismarck. It was sunk by a force led by the Battleship HMS Duke of York off North Cape Dec. 26th, 1943. Busch was a journalist who did well during the Nazi era, publishing several books then, and afterwards successfully negotiated the de-nazification process.
There's not much technical detail in this combat history of the WWII heavy Cruiser. The chief appeal lies in the information about the career of the ship after the "Bismarck" raid. I couldn't find a translator on this one. Readable.
