Books about the German Hilfskreuzers.
 

Has anyone read about these ships? Can anyone recommend one or several books about this topic?

Thank you! :up:

Hello,

for a basic introduction:

Kriegsmarine Auxiliary Cruisers (OSPREY, New Vanguard)

and in German, there is an excellent book (in my opinion is better):

Deutsche Hilfskreuzer im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Kaperfahrer auf den Weltmeeren http://www.amazon.de/Deutsche-Hilfsk...3&sr=8-1-spell

in EN: Edwin Hoyt: Raider 16

and in german:

Pinguin: http://www.amazon.de/Gespensterkreuz...3&sr=8-2-spell

Thor: http://www.amazon.de/Hilfskreuzer-TH...3&sr=8-3-spell

Komet: http://www.amazon.de/HSK-Komet-Kaper...ref=pd_sim_b_2

and others...

Thanks m8, much appreciated! :up:
