Battleship Sharnhorst

This publication mainly covers the battleship* Scharnborst, although much of the data is compared with that of her sister ship Gneisenau. It contains the most important technical information along with a brief general history of shipbuilding and a description of ship construction. There are additional notes on life on board, crew training and the various states of readiness. There are numerous photographs of both the original ship and a variety of models, which are complemented by illustrations of Gneisenau to demonstrate the vital differences between these two sister ships. This collection of data, specifications, photographs and line drawings provides the modeller with all essential information on his chosen subject, and directs him to further sources of research material. Some of the general information contained within this title may refer to other units of the same class but only when these are similar to the ship covered by the appropriate book. All the plans within these pages are smaller scale renderings of those contained in an original 'Planrolle' (set of drawings) which accompanied the first German edition of the book. I wish to express my special thanks to Mr Klaus-Peter Schmolke, who made all the excellent drawings, and Mr F Bavendamm, who took all the photographs of the model. I also wish to express my gratitude to the Kuestenmuseum, Wilhelmshaven for their kind permission for photographs to be taken of the models in their museum.
