Prinz Eugen by Ivan Berryman.

The German Heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen is depicted in a quiet moment at Gotenhaven in April 1941 whilst engaged in exercises with her consort, the mighty Bismarck that would eventually lead to Operation Rheinubung,. Bismarck herself is alongside in the distance, where final preparations for their foray into the North sea and beyond are being made.


HMS Norfolk at the Battle of the North Cape by Ivan Berryman.

HMS Norfolk and HMS Belfast of Force I are shown engaging the Scharnhorst which has already been hit and disabled by both HMS Duke of York and the cruiser HMS Jamaica. Scharnhorst was never to escape the clutches of the British and Norwegian forces for, having been slowed to just a few knots by numerous hits, fell victim to repeated torpedo attacks by the allied cruisers and destroyers that had trapped the German marauder.


HMS Sydney commanded by Captain J C T Glossop, Attacking the German Cruiser Emden by Maurice Randall (P)

The most brilliant feature of the war by sea for Germany was the free and uninterrupted career of the cruiser Emden against the merchant shipping of the allies. She had even shelled oil tanks at Madras, but her daring captain, Karl von Muller, was at length outwitted. Having approached the Cocos Islands, with his ship disguised with an additional funnel, her wily captain sent a landing party to destroy the wireless apparatus. But her identity was recognised and immediately the news was flashed to Singapore. The cruisers Sydney and Melbourne, convoying troopships to Europe, caught the message 100 miles off, and, going full speed ahead, the Sydney caught sight of the Emden soon after 9 am on 9th November 1914. Possessing a ship with heavier guns and greater speed, Captain Glossop soon showed his superiority, and Captain von Muller was obliged to drive the Emden ashore on North Keeling Island to save her from sinking.


HMS Dorsetshire by Ivan Berryman.

The heavy cruiser HMS Dorsetshire is brought up to sink the blazing wreck of the Bismarck with torpedoes at around 10:30 hours on the morning of May 27th 1941. The once proud German ship had been ruthlessly pounded into a twisted and burning wreck by the British battleships Rodney and King George V. HMS Dorsetshire and HMS Maori combed the area of the sinking for survivors, between them picking up a total of 110 out of an original complement of 2,300.


The Battle of the River Plate by Randall Wilson.

Under attack from HMS Ajax, HMS Exeter and HMS Achilles, the German Pocket battleship Graf Spee is shown at speed returning salvos, December 1939.


Nurnberg Sinking by W L Wyllie.

At the end of the Battle of the Falkland Islands, while boats from HMS Kent went to pick up survivors of the Nurnberg, the German cruiser hauled right over on her side and sank. The remaining crew were a brave lot - one man stood aloft and held the German ensign waving in his hands til the ship went under.


The Narvik Squadron by Anthony Saunders.

The Last of the heavy Cruisers built by Germany (5 in total) The picture shows Admiral Hipper making her first sortie on the 18th February 1940, accompanied by the Scharnhorst and the Gneisenau on Operation Nordmark. (Search for allied convoys on the route between Britain and Norway)


Peaceful Anchorage by Robert Taylor

Ships of the East Asiatic Squadron at anchor in a Pacific Island bay prior to the outbreak of hostilities in 1914. The ships are, left to right, light cruisers Nurnberg and Dresden, cruiser Gneisenau and von Spees flagship Scharnhorst.


HMS Dorsetshire (The End of the Bismarck) by Ivan Berryman.

The heavy cruiser HMS Dorsetshire is brought up to sink the blazing wreck of the Bismarck with torpedoes at around 10:30 hours on the morning of May 27th 1941. The once proud German ship had been ruthlessly pounded into a twisted and burning wreck by the British battleships Rodney and King George V.

Night Attack on the Newcastle by Robert Taylor.

Hit and run attacks by fast moving German E-Boats were a constant threat to vital Allied shipping in the Mediterranean during the second World War. Often made under cover of darkness, these fast, highly manoeuvrable craft would speed through a convoy, release their torpedoes, and disappear into the night. During the night of 15 June 1942 German E-Boats of the 3rd Flotilla left their Eastern Mediterranean base at Derna to intercept an Allied convoy bound for the island of Malta. Shortly after midnight, under the command of Leutnant Seigfried Wuppermann, the motor torpedo boat S-56 slipped past two Royal Navy escort destroyers to make a stern attack on the British cruiser HMS Newcastle. Alerted to the incoming attack, suddenly a searchlight at Newcastles foremast switched on, illuminating S-56 from stem to stern. Reacting quickly, Wuppermann fired two torpedoes in quick succession from 600 yards, and turned hard to starboard to make good his escape. A second searchlight aboard Newcastle pin-pointed S-56, but by then it was too late. Travelling at 33 knots, under fire from the escorts, S-56 threw out a smoke screen and released depth charges as a distraction, and disappeared into the darkness. Robert Taylors action packed painting shows S-56 some thirty seconds after release of her torpedoes, as the first explodes against the hull of HMS Newcastle. The second will strike a few seconds later. The cruiser, though badly damaged, limped back to Alexandria.


The Last of Scharnhorst and Gneisenau by W L Wyllie.

During the battle of the Falkland Islands, both the German ships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were sunk after battling with the Royal Navy battleships HMS Invincible and HMS Inflexible and heavy cruiser HMS Carnarvon.


Sydney and Emden off North Keeling Island by W L Wyllie.

Two copies available


Break Out by Anthony Saunders.

As Me109s from 3./JG77 and Me110s from ZG76 provide aerial cover, the pride of the Kriegsmarine - the battleships Bismarck - together with the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, destroyers Z10 Hans Lody and Z16 Friedrich Eckholdt, and a support escort fleet break out from Norwegian waters into the open sea on the evening of 21st May 1941. Heading for the rich pickings of the North Atlantic convoy routes, her ill-fated voyage would last only a few days. After a shattering victory over HMS Hood, Bismarck was caught and sunk by the Royal Navy Home Fleet a few days later on 27th May 1941. There were just 115 survivors from her complement of over 2000 men.


HMS Birmingham Commanded by Captain Arthur Duff, Ramming the German Submarine U15 on August 9th 1914 by M G Swanwick (P)

Having swept away the periscope and conning tower of the German submarine U15 with a salvo of six shots from the Birminghams guns, Captain Arthur Duff ordered the cruisers engines to be set at full speed. With a turn of the helm she was brought round with her bows pointing straight at the disabled submarine. Then dashing forward at 25 miles per hour the 5,400 ton cruiser rode into U15, which rolled over and sank to the bottom of the sea with its crew of three officers and twenty men.


German Light Cruisers of World War II by Gerhard Koop and Klaus-Peter Schmolke.

This valuable reference book traces the development and building of the light cruiser class and presents the history of each individual ship. Statistical information and complete technical specifications are included, giving an insight into the performance and potential of each vessel. The text is supported by illustrations throughout: technical plans, camouflage drawings and hundreds of previously unpublished photographs, many of them from the private collections of former crew members. Germanys light cruisers had played an important part in World War I and were one of the few types of warship Germany could maintain under the restrictions imposed by the Versailles Treaty. German naval planners and the Kriegsmarine expected great things from the cruisers at the outbreak of World War II and they were destined to play an important role in Germanys attempt to wrest control of the seas from the Royal Navy. Intended primarily for anti-commerce raiding and escort duties, the Third Reichs cruisers served throughout the conflict.


The German Cruiser Emden After H.M.S. Sydney Had Done With Her.

It was on the 9th November 1914, that the Emden, disguised with an additional funnel, approached the wireless station of Cocos Island to destroy the gear. News of her arrival was immediately cabled to Singapore and flashed out by wireless, and H.M.S. Sydney was ordered to Cocos at full speed. With heavier guns and superior speed the Sydney possessed the advantage, and her commander, Captain J. C. T. G. Glossop, extracted every ounce of value from her. The Emden opened fire at 9.40 and for a few rounds her shooting was good, but as the Sydneys shells took effect, the Germans began to fire wildly. The Sydney used her speed to get the best advantage out of the superior range of her guns, and after an hour and forty minutes, the Germans ship was reduced to such a condition that her captain ran her ashore on North Keeling Island to prevent her from sinking. Even then, not until she was an absolute wreck, did Captain Muller haul down his flag. Captain Glossop was made a Companion of the Bath for his services, and six men of the Sydneys crew received the D.S.M.


An Aeroplane Directing The Fire Of The Severn And Mersey On The German Cruiser Konigsberg.

For eight months the Konigsberg lay in her undignified retreat, and then two monitors were despatched to East Africa by the Admirality. The Severn (Commander E. Fullerton) and Mersey (Lieut.- Commander R.A. Wilson) made their first attack on July 6th 1915. An aeroplane was sent up to discover the whereabouts of the Konigsberg, and found her with great palm branches lashed to her masts and her decks scattered about with follage so as to render her invisible. With the aeroplane to direct the firing the British gunners soon made hits, but the day ended with the Konigsberg still firing her four guns. The end came on the 11th, when the Severn, decked to resemble a floating island, drifted up the river near to the unsuspecting Konigsberg. A heavy duel ensued, and to cut a long story short the Severn won the day. For this good work, Commander Fitzmaurice, Fullerton and Wilson of the Navy, and Squadron-Commander R. Gordon, Flight-Commander Cull, and Flight-Sub-Lieutenant H. J. Arnold, of the Air Service, each received the D.S.O.


Almost The First Round From The Glasgow Landed in the Stern of the Dresden.

The Dresden also lacked coal and put into a Chilean port. Here the Governor of the island that she must leave within twenty-four hours, but her captain refused to do so, and remained in defiance of Chilian neutrality told her. When the British ships arrived on the scene, the Glasgow leading, they found the Dresden lying within the territorial waters of a neutral Power and in open defiance of the wishes of that Power. The Glasgow at onece opened fire with her 6-inch guns, and almost the first round landed in the stern of the Dresden and set her ablaze. The Germans replied, and then the Kent came into action, but after the first salvo from her powerful broadside the Germans hoisted a white flag and sent out a steam launch, representing to the British commander that he was outraging international law by attacking the Dresden in neutral waters, but as the Dresden had been violating Chilean neutrality for nearly a week, Captain Luce informed the German commander that he intended to sink the Dresden unless the Germans sank her themselves.

A Fire Breaks Out In The Forepart Of The Nurnberg.

The Kent began firing lyddite at a range of 7,500 yards, when the two ships were running broadside to broadside. The upper deck of the Nurnberg was already a mass of twisted and battered iron, while her sides were heavily marked with shell holes. Before long a great fire burst out in the forepart of the ship and her guns ceased firing. But as the Kent which also ceased firing, steamed to within 3,000 yards, the Nurnbergs flag was seen to be still flying. The British gunners began to shell the doomed ship again, and in five minutes her flag was brought down with a run. The action lasted just two hours, and for his gallant services Captain J.D. Allen was awarded a C.B.
