I've been doing some reading on the web about navies of world war II. Anyone have any recommendations on good books about the German Navy. In particular I am looking for a book that talks about resource allocation decisions, like why they never completed the Graf Zepplin.

English would be preferred. I would say Texan, but I doubt there are many translations to Texan.

Hey Oliver,

I'd be interested in what you think is worthwhile in both German and English.

For a start, try 'The German Navy at War, 1935-1945' by Siegfried Breyer and Gerhard Koop, or any other book by them - they are considered among the leading experts on Naval history.

Why Graf Zeppelin when you have Bismarck,Tirpitz,Scharnohorst,Hipper class CA which is far better than any Allied/Japanese CAs etc...
