Description
A comprehensive overview of the naval war in the Baltic Sea area 1939-1945. In contrast to the Atlantic or the Mediterranean, this often somewhat neglected theatre of naval warfare contains a whole series of events that played a major role in the course of the Second World War. These include the shelling of the Westerplatte by the Germans in September 1939, the siege of Leningrad, the three successive wars in Finland, the liberation of the Baltic states by the Red Army in 1944/45, the flight and evacuation of the German population from the German eastern territories and the advance of the Red Army to the west.
The work also covers lesser-known topics, such as Swedish-German cooperation, the importance of the Baltic Sea as a training ground for German submarine crews, secret weapons research at Peenemünde, or the mining operations of German ports and shipping lanes by the British Royal Air Force.
