The exciting account of the famous German battle cruiser which sank 152,000 tons of Allied shipping.

A LUCKY SHIP

The Germans called her their “lucky ship”—the heavily gunned, heavily armoured Admiral Scheer, sister ship of the ill-fated Graf Spee and the Deutschland. With and operational range of 19,000 miles, she quickly became a nightmare to the British Admiralty.

This is the dramatic story of one of the most successful fighting ships in the German Navy, told by two German officers: who commanded her. It also contains the thrilling account, as seen for the first time through German eyes, of the sinking of the Jervis Bay. This lightly armed auxiliary cruiser went down with all guns blazing in a daring and gallant attempt to protect her convoy from the mighty dreadnought.
“This story of a great raider, searching out enemy; commerce under the nose of powerful naval forces is always enthralling.”—N. Y. Herald Tribune
“A first-rate account of warfare at sea.”—Cleveland Plain Deale
“Gives an unusual glimpse into what the Nazi side of the war was like.”—Chicago Tribune
