Over 60 minutes of original, rare and unseen archive
footage. This military DVD also includes two bonus films
and three original Kriegsmarine photo galleries.
During the duration of the Second World War, the German Kriegsmarine
(Navy) introduced four new types of battleship that posed a massive threat to
the Allied equivalents patrolling the shipping lanes in the Pacific and Atlantic
oceans. The design and construction of the famous Bismarck and Tirpitz
battleships saw two of the most advanced and revered ships in the history of
naval warfare. These giants of the naval world displaced over 50,000 tons and
had an arsenal containing over 70 large cannons, including eight 38 cm guns. The
launching of these two iconic ships in Hamburg and Wilhelmshaven went down in the history books as
a highlight of naval history. This DVD shows these maritime heavyweights in
action, from their launch and basic training to operations in the open
ocean.
Also featured on this DVD is the Panzerschiffe (Armour Plated Ships)
of the Deutschland Class. These powerful battle units sported 28 cm cannons,
with these cruisers packing much more of a punch then their enemy Allied
counterparts. Complete with original rare and unseen archive footage showing
ships of the Kriegsmarine in all their splendour, this DVD also has two bonus
films and three original picture galleries, making this the ideal purchase for
history and maritime enthusiasts.
