Heavy Cruisers of the Admiral Hipper Class: Admiral Hipper-Blucher-Prinz Eugen-Seydlitz-Lutzow (Warships of the Kriegsmarine)

This volume covers the Admiral Hipper class, among the largest heavy cruisers to serve in World War II. Intended to be a class of five, they enjoyed contrasting fortunes: Seydlitz and Lützow were never completed; Blücher was the first major German warship sunk in action; Admiral Hipper became one of the most successful commerce raiders of the war; while the Prinz Eugen survived to be expended as a target in one of the first American nuclear tests in 1946.
