Condición: New. 2026 N&MP reprint (of original pub 1956). iv+31pp., with 12 charts some in colour This volume is part of the Naval Staff History of the Second World War, a series of post-war battle summaries compiled by the British Admiralty to document Royal Navy operations. They provide comprehensive analyses of significant naval actions, including tactical decisions, operational challenges, and lessons learned.Originally classified, these studies have since been largely declassified and are now available through The Naval & Military Press as a series of Facsimile reprintsBattle Summary 12 (July 1942) was originally completed when the main facts of the operation were largely known, but many details remained uncertain. Heavy casualties among the motor launches and the capture of nearly all the commandos who reached shore left gaps in the record, particularly regarding the execution of the raid and the enemy's response.After the surrender of Germany in 1945, a significant amount of new information became available. Returned prisoners of war provided firsthand accounts, and captured German documents offered insight into enemy plans, movements, and losses. This revised edition incorporates that material, clarifying previously uncertain points and providing a more complete and accurate account of the raid.The operation remains notable for its combination of daring, innovation, and extreme risk. Despite the setbacks suffered by the raiding force, the mission demonstrated the courage and determination of the commandos, as well as the challenges of amphibious raids against a well-prepared enemy. The detailed information now included also highlights the effectiveness and limitations of both sides' planning and execution, offering lessons in small-unit operations, co-ordination, and naval support.

Condición: New. 2026 N&MP reprint (of original pub 1942). 33pp., with 8 maps During the Second World War, the German Kriegsmarine turned to auxiliary cruisers-merchantmen hastily transformed into commerce raiders-to wage a shadow war against Allied shipping. These vessels relied less on firepower than on deception. Disguised with false masts, altered funnels and ever-changing paint schemes, they masqueraded as neutral or Allied traders, maintaining strict radio silence and operating far from established sea lanes to prolong their anonymity.This Battle Summary covers eight engagements with enemy merchant ship raiders up to the end of 1941. Over this 28-month period, Axis merchant raiders sank one British cruiser, one armed merchant cruiser, and a total of 618,108 tons of merchant shipping. Axis losses during the same period included three of the seven raiders identified, as well as two additional ships that were likely supply vessels.The British armed merchant cruisers and cruisers involved included:Alcantara (armed merchant cruiser Carnarvon Castle (armed merchant cruiser)Leander (cruiser)Voltaire (armed merchant cruiser)Cornwall (cruiser)Sydney (cruiser)Devonshire (cruiser) Dorsetshire (cruiser).
