Perfect for fans of Ryan T. Higgins's We Don't Eat Our Classmates and Elise Parsley's If You Ever Want to Bring an Alligator to School, Don't! Dear Diary, Today is the first day at my new school and I think there's been a mistake. My desk mate stinks, my locker buddy bites, and my teacher is unbearable! I told Mom my classmates are WILD ANIMALS but she said all little kids are wild animals. I think I'm going to be sick tomorrow. Celebrate back to school (and even calm some back-to-school nerves) with this clever and funny story about a boy who accidentally winds up at a school for animals, but soon realizes friends can come in all shapes, sizes, and species. A great read for kindergarten through second grade! Praise for My School Stinks!: "Along with being a good choice for children anxious about their own upcoming “first day,” this offers a nifty exercise in reading between the lines."--Booklist "An encouraging new-kid narrative told from an entertaining perspective." --Publishers Weekly
Book Synopsis The Battleship Scharnhorst by : Stefan Draminski
Download or read book The Battleship Scharnhorst written by Stefan Draminski and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-21 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kriegsmarine's Scharnhorst was a German capital ship, described either as a battleship or battlecruiser, and the lead ship of her class, which included one other ship, Gneisenau. She was launched on 3 October 1936 and completed in January 1939, armed with nine 28cm C/34 guns in three triple turrets. She operated with Gneisenau for much of the early portion of World War II, including sorties into the Atlantic to raid British merchant shipping. They took part in Operation Weserübung (April–June 1940), the German invasion of Norway, during which they sank the aircraft carrier HMS Glorious and her escort destroyers Acasta and Ardent. Scharnhorst also sank HMS Rawalpindi in November 1939. In early 1943, Scharnhorst joined the Tirpitz in Norway to intercept Allied convoys to the Soviet Union. On a sortie from Norway to attack a convoy, the German force was intercepted by British ships and during the Battle of the North Cape (26 December 1943), HMS Duke of York and her escorts sank Scharnhorst. Most of her crew was lost. This is the most comprehensive examination of Scharnhorst ever published, drawing on new research and technology to tell the full story of the ship. It includes a complete set of detailed line drawings with fully descriptive keys and full-colour 3D artwork, supported by technical details, photographs, and text on the building of the ship, as well as a record of her service history.

This book was released on 2022-07-16T22:59:00Z with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The German battlecruiser Scharnhorst was sunk in the last action of its life, by a group of British ships led by Admiral Sir Bruce Fraser. The German admirals were easily depressed, as they were constantly being urged onwards to victory for Fuhrer and Fatherland, while at the same time being cautioned against taking any risks with their ships. #2 The Royal Navy has always known that the price of Admiralty is very high indeed, in blood and treasure. But one setback does not lose a war. In Bruce Fraser, the Home Fleet had a commander who knew who his opponent would be, and he had had ample time to prepare for it. #3 In 1941, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were used to carry out a raid on commerce. They successfully sank 22 ships, of 115,622 tons, and totally disrupted Allied convoy schedules. They had also tempered valor with discretion, having adroitly withdrawn when they sighted an opposing capital ship with a convoy. #4 Scharnhorst was a German ship that had suffered many reverses and damage. But her crew was extremely proud of her, and they developed a great pride in their ship. They were lucky in their commanding officer, Kapitan zur See Kurt Caesar Hoffman, who had relieved Ciliax in September 1939.

This book was released on 2023-08-04 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 1942, six Swordfish armed with torpedoes encountered heavy anti-aircraft fire in the English Channel and were shot down but not before two torpedoes were launched at a German battleship sailing at high speed. This attack was part of a wider British effort to stop the battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau from making their way back to Germany. The Scharnhorst is one of the most famous capital ships to have served with the Kriegsmarine. Yet she and her sister ship Gneisenau have been largely overshadowed by the Bismarck and Tirpitz, despite the fact that they played a more proactive role in the Second World War and were Germany’s most successful battleships. This book provides an authoritative and informative look at the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, the first capital ships of the Kriegsmarine, from their conception through the first successful years of the Second World War to their respective losses. This is a detailed account of naval warfare against the Royal Navy off the coast of Norway and the war against Allied commerce from the German perspective.

Download or read book Scharnhorst and Gneisenau written by Steve Backer and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2012-08-30 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of the service careers and advice on making models of “perhaps the most successful of the German battleships of the Second World War” (History of War). The ShipCraft series provides in-depth information about building and modifying model kits of famous warship types. Lavishly illustrated, each book takes the modeler through a brief history of the subject class, highlighting differences between sister-ships and changes in their appearance over their careers This includes paint schemes and camouflage, featuring color profiles and highly-detailed line drawings and scale planes. The modeling section reviews the strengths and weaknesses of available kits, lists commercial accessory sets for super-detailing of the ships, and provides hints on modifying and improving the basic kit. This is followed by an extensive photographic gallery of selected high-quality models in a variety of scales, and the book concludes with a section on research reference books, monographs, large-scale plans and relevant websites. The two German ships which form the subject of this volume were among the first products of rearmament under Hitler. For political reasons they were neither as large nor as well armed as foreign equivalents, but they were very fast, which led them to be described as battlecruisers in some quarters. They enjoyed an adventurous war, both surviving heavy damage, before Scharnhorst was sunk in an epic gun battle off the North Cape, while Gneisenau succumbed to heavy air attack. “For both vessels, the book gives details of modifications carried out, while a wealth of clear and detailed photographs and line drawings illustrate the ships themselves, as well as items of equipment.” —Ships Monthly
Book Synopsis Holocaust At Sea: The Drama Of The Scharnhorst by : Fritz-Otto Busch
Download or read book Holocaust At Sea: The Drama Of The Scharnhorst written by Fritz-Otto Busch and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Christmas Day, 1943, blinded by the fury of an Arctic blizzard, encircled by enemy destroyers, the German battleship Scharnhorst fought for her life. The luck of the Scharnhorst had become a legend. In 1942 she had slipped unscathed through the Channel under the very bows of the British fleet to harry the Arctic convoy-routes. The British convoy which sailed for Murmansk on Christmas Eve, 1943, seemed a perfect target for another lightning raid. In fact it was a trap to lure the battleship into the open and then destroy her. This is the story of the Scharnhorst’s dramatic sortie from her Norwegian lair. The story of a battle fought with outstanding courage against impossible odds until the most feared of all Hitler’s battleships sank at last off North Cape.

XV, 244 S. 8° written by Charles E. White and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1989 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the essence of German military professionalism as exemplified by the nineteenth century Prussian German Staff. The study focuses on the most important Prussian military reformer--Gerhard Johann David von Scharnhorst, who in 1801 founded the Militarische Gesellschaft (Military Society) in Berlin. The Gesellschaft became the focal point for the transformation of the Prussian army from a robotic war machine into a modern fighting force that was instrumental in defeating Napolean in 1813 and in 1815. The author examines the following elements of this military society: its membership; the specifics of its agenda; the intellect, imagination, and habits of thought, reflection, and objective analysis of its members; Scharnhorst's particular contributions.

Book Synopsis Battleships of the Scharnhorst Class by : Gerard Koop
Download or read book Battleships of the Scharnhorst Class written by Gerard Koop and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The warships of the World War II era German Navy are among the most popular subject in naval history with an almost uncountable number of books devoted to them. However, for a concise but authoritative summary of the design history and careers of the major surface ships it is difficult to beat a series of six volumes written by Gerhard Koop and illustrated by Klaus-Peter Schmolke. Each contains an account of the development of a particular class, a detailed description of the ships, with full technical details, and an outline of their service, heavily illustrated with plans, battle maps and a substantial collection of photographs. These have been out of print for ten years or more and are now much sought after by enthusiasts and collectors, so this new modestly priced reprint of the series will be widely welcomed.??Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, the subject of this volume, were the product of a long, involved and politically determined design process that saw them develop from an improved Pocket Battleship to what many described as a battlecruiser, although they were really fast battleships. They were the most active, and successful, of the Kriegesmarine's major warships, taking part in numerous famous operations, including the infamous 'Channel Dash'.
Book Synopsis Military Field Pocket Book 1811 by : Haverfield
Download or read book Military Field Pocket Book 1811 written by Haverfield and published by . This book was released on 2003-06 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This translation of the Military Field Pocket Book containing the tactical thinking and military methods of the great General von Scharnhorst, architect of Prussia s successful resistance to Napoelon s s domination, was translated in 1811 when Britain s war with Napoleon was at its height, and when the Emperor, save in Spain, still seemed invincible. Young officers, although now being trained on a structured basis, often still lacked personal experience of operations against the enemy. Scharnhorst s work was intended to give such young men (who would be commanding in the field by the time of the Battle of Waterloo) some expert insight and guidance into their profession. The first part of the book concerns the instructions for infantry and cavalry officers . The manual is full of useful advice on such things as surprising sentries, finding the enemy and capturing couriers. Another important section describes the practical aspects of field fortifications, and how they should be built. There are examples of obstacles that can be put in the enemy s path, as well as wise counsel on how to overcome the same when attacking. This is a military masterclass from a genius at warfare.
