OSPREY CAMPAIGN 171: RIVER
PLATE 1939 THE SINKING OF THE GRAF SPEE
by Angus
Konstam & Tony Bryan
Days before the outbreak of World War II, German raiders
put out to sea to prey on Allied merchantmen. Amongst them
was the Panzerschiff ('armoured ship') Graf Spee, a
formidable warship with the firepower of a battleship but
the size, speed and range of a cruiser. Under the command of
Captain Hans Langsdorff, she hunted across the South
Atlantic and the Indian Ocean, eventually arriving at the
River Plate in search of an Allied convoy. Instead she found
three Royal Navy cruisers under the command of Commodore
Henry Harwood, eager to put an end to the 'pocket
battleship'. Featuring full colour artwork and archive
photographs, this comprehensive volume explores the
thrilling story behind the Battle of the River Plate, an
engagement that unquestionably demonstrated the
effectiveness of British seapower.
