Germany WW2 cranes and floating docks

Post by Player »

Hello,

Anyone have information about the cranes used on german docks in WW2? At least from Blohm & Voss was 2 model of cranes: a 250 tons crane (1 built) and little cranes around it (well little compated to it)
What I need is drawings or dimensions of those cranes.
About floating docks, any info / drawings of the one used on Bismarck?
