Hi all,
Could somebody confirm that the German edition is the German clon of this book -- in German obviously ?
And another stupid question : Does anybody know if the German edition was published in several volumes at the same time ?
There is a so called Die britischen Schlachtschiffe des 2. Weltkrieges Bd. 3, by the same authors and the same publisher, Band.3 meaning volume nr. 3 !!!
Any help on this subject will ber more than welcome.
Very best regards,

Willie.

I know its in German, but I'm not sure about the volumes sorry as I've only seen the same size and shape book as the English Arms & Armous /USA NIP in Geman never seen seperate volumes.

Just a PS,

I cannot agree more about the comments made re: Arms & Armour V.s Navel Institute Press as far as overall quality & reproduction goes.

The A&A editions are far better.

Thankfully, I managed to get the A&A editions of both the Cruisers book and the Battleships book.

Many thanks for the tips guys.

Dave

Just a quick heads-up for anyone looking for both the cruisers and the battleships books - There's one of each from the same seller on ebay uk right now.

My two volumes of British battleships of WW2 and British cruisers of WW2 by Alan Raven and John Roberts are already at home. I will be studying them for years, but I can already say that I cannot imagine my life without them anymore. They are QUALITY -- written that way, capital letters ...
Very best regards,

Willie.

And again a reminder, the German-language edition is still available brand-new for even less, has the same great photographs and drawings.

I just hope a German-language version of British Cruisers is in the works, so I can have both these old pals, together again on my shelf!
