ISBN: 9781612001982.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the Royal Navy’s bloody high seas campaign to kill the mighty Bismarck, the Allies were left with an uncomfortable truth—the German behemoth had a twin sister. Slightly larger than her sibling, the Tirpitz was equally capable of destroying any other battleship afloat, as well as wreak havoc on Allied troop and supply convoys. For the next three and a half years the Allies launched a variety of attacks to remove Germany’s last serious surface threat.\n\n“A thorough treatment, including material from interviews with survivors of their sinkings and the impact they had on the naval war in the Atlantic.\"—Seapower\n\n\"The authors have woven Tirpitzs story quite well, and in doing so explain the strategic implications and dramatic battles surrounding the super battleship. Their book is an excellent study of an aspect of naval strategy the Germans used with such aplomb . . . a welcome addition to my library.\"—Naval Historical Foundation\n\nTable of Contents\n\nPreface\nPrologue\n\nNordmeer\n“A Wonderful Opportunity”\nThe War at Sea—The Initial Years\nNew Weapons, Indirect Strategies\nOperation Chariot\nThe Arctic Convoys\nPQ15 and PQ16\nPrelude to Operation Rösselsprung\nPQ17—The Tragedy\n“Convoy is to Scatter”\nOperation Title—The Human Torpedos\nWunderland\nPQ18—The Battling Convoy\nShetlands-Larsen and the Fishing Boat\n“Have you any use for peats?”\nThe Shifting Balance\nThe Midget Submarines\nSizilien—The One Offensive\nOperation Source Begins\nOstfront\nTungsten\nThe Russian Adventure\nOperation Obviate\nCatechism\nThe Tirpitz Sinks\nThe Tirpitz and the War in the Arctic\n\nNotes\nArchival Records\nPublished Sources\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Casemate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44955552415797,"sku":"ByrdShop_161200198X","price":89.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781612001982_347eeb8b-cd1b-4433-b3e8-adead4a4bc45.jpg?v=1792201846","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/tirpitz-the-life-and-death-of-germanys-last-super-battleship-9781612001982","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
