Subject: Thoughts on "Tirpitz - Hunting the Beast"

I'll post some of my thoughts
(no way will I set myself up by calling it a "review"
just a few of IMHO thoughts on this book)

"Tirpitz Hunting the Beast" by John Sweetman,
2000, mine softcover, 253 pages.
I got mine discounted at Half Price Books, $5.00

I'd gotten interested, read a lot on Bismark and Tirpitz
from some really well done 'websites'.
When I saw this at that price, figured sure!
(the way my brain works/doesn't work, I'm much
better able to find info from a book in my house, than
from refinding a www.site (wtf-highlight underline?)
Tells 'adequately' the tale of this ship.
I'm just not too sure of some of given 'specifics'.
And fairly distracting and confusing at times like when he
gives every airplane's log time on bomb drop,
when quite clearly they are in conflict with each other!
Not perfect, but now I have it in my control, so for
just $5.00 I'm happy enough, but for others???
Not a lot new or novel, that I did not already know.

Anyone else read? Or care to offer thoughts?
