Minesweepers - Germany: Books - History and Deployment

Deutsche Minensuch­ und Räumboote - Seit 1914

At the beginning of the 20th century, the defence against sea mines became of central importance for the naval powers. This responsible and dangerous task was and is solved by well-trained crews with their minesweepers and minesweepers, the barrage breakers and also the mine clearers from the air.

This unique book is dedicated not only to the ships required to combat sea mines, but also to those who were primarily responsible for laying minefields: the minelayers.
The author Knut Schäfer gives the reader a comprehensive overview of all mine clearance, search and laying forces.
