a suprising amount of information about warships was available and published privately before and during World War Two. I have a privately published book that contains quite a bit of information. The US Navy recognition manuals are also quite detailed. I have seen several German "pochet books" on foreign fleets but do not have any in my collection. My recollection is that some armament info was included. I am confident that the official German Navy manual included the latest intelligence on enemy capabilities. Just like our own manuals, not always 100% up to date or accurate, but quite comprehensive in scope. Joe S
