Defeat at Sea: The Struggle and Eventual Destruction of the German Navy, 1939-1945

By C D BEKKER

Defeat at Sea, first published in the United States in 1955, is a former German naval officer's account of the successes and failures of the German naval fleet during World War Two. The book was originally published in Germany as Kampf und Untergang der Kriegsmarine and in England as Swastika at Sea. Included are chapters on the decisive battles involving the Bismark, Graf Spee, Tirpitz, and Scharnhorst, among others, plus the role of German U boats (submarines), and raiders. The book concludes near the end of the war with the massive naval rescue effort of German citizens from the Baltic region in the face of the Russian advance. Included are 16 pages of photographs.
