Next to the U-boats, the surface raiders of the Kriegsmarine were among the most effective naval vessels the Germans loosed upon the oceans during World War II.

This work is based on Admiralty documents, New Zealand Naval records, and German official reports. 21 photos, 2 drawings, 6 maps, 1 diagram, 1 chart.. A Merriam Press Reprint.
