In December 1942, under Operation Regenbogen (Rainbow), the German Kriegsmarine sought to strike a crippling blow on the Arctic convoys and finally sever this all-important sea route.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this fascinating work, renowned naval expert Angus Konstam documents the fate of the Allied Convoy JW 51B as it came under attack from some of the Kriegsmarine's most powerful surface warships – a pocket battleship, a heavy cruiser and six destroyers. Illustrated with stunning battlescene artworks, maps, 3D diagrams and photographs, it explores the David and Goliath struggle between the Allied ships defending the convoy and the powerful German force, until the arrival of the two British cruisers tipped the balance of power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Battle of the Barents Sea, fought amid snowstorms and the darkness of the Arctic night, would prove to be a turning point in the hard-fought war in northern waters, and would test Hitler's patience with his surface fleet to the limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-15\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore-toc\" data-readmore=\"\" aria-expanded=\"true\" id=\"undefined1\"\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eOrigins of the campaign\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCHRONOLOGY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOPPOSING COMMANDERS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eThe Kriegsmarine\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eThe Royal Navy\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cb aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eOPPOSING FORCES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eThe Kriegsmarine\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eThe Royal Navy\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eOrders of battle\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cb aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eOPPOSING PLANS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eThe Kriegsmarine\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eThe Royal Navy\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cb aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE BATTLE OF THE BARENTS SEA\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eJW-51A heads north\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eThe forces converge\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eThe northern pincer closes\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eCaptain Sherbrooke's fight\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eKummetz springs his trap\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eBurnett's attack\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003ci aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eAftermath\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003ci aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eRemembering the battle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003ci aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eFurther reading\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003ci aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Osprey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67949426508075,"sku":null,"price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/1289\/5019\/files\/9781472848451.jpg?v=1793361004","url":"https:\/\/militaryhistorybooks.com\/products\/barents-sea-1942-the-battle-for-russia-s-arctic-lifeline-by-angus-konstam-new-osprey-campaign-series-copy-copy","provider":"Military History Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
