The "Prinz Eugen" was one of the three heavy cruisers of the Kriegsmarine and the only German major combat ship that survived the Second World War. The "Eugen" sank in the American atomic bomb tests in the summer of 1946 and lies at the Kwajalein Atoll. Ingo Bauernfeind describes the development, history, technology and operations of the "Eugen" in this monograph. But most importantly, he also devotes himself to the fate of the ship after 1945. Current pictures of the wreck in today's state, references, insights and evaluations in connection with the nuclear weapon tests go far beyond the usual historiography.
