From the Pen and Sword website: During the Second World War, the German Kriegsmarine (Navy) conducted a plethora of large scale fleet manoeuvres in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Using original and unseen German archive footage, this DVD shows these actions of naval warfare for the very first time to a Western audience. At the outbreak of the war, these battle units were operational in several sea areas. These films document a selection of these manoeuvres, showing many of the varying forms of ship that were operational in the German Kriegsmarine at the time. These range from the flagships of the German fleet such as the Bismarck to the Cruisers, Destroyers, Torpedo Boats and other smaller units that made up the Germen naval arsenal. Depicted using a selection of archive footage, some of which has been digitally restored, this DVD shows the units readying themselves for battle in heavy seas.
