Sinking of the Roma

[McTeed]

What are the best sources of information on the sinking of the battleship Roma by a Fritz X bomb?

Hello!
If you can read German:
http://www.amazon.com/Kampfgeschwader-1 ... 3879437726
And from the sailors' point of view:
http://www.amazon.com/Battleships-Axis- ... 0870211013
And this one (in German, too):
http://www.amazon.com/41-Sekunden-bis-z ... 241&sr=1-1

Best regards, Aleks

This is in Italian, but combines interviews, a lot of actual film, and computer animation. It is very good. There are two parts, this link is to the first part.

If you search for Fritz X you will get much information including German bomber pictures.

The Littorio Class by Bagnasco & de Toro has an appendix dealing with all damage sustained by the Littorio class battleships.
It includes two or three pages dealing specifically with the Roma sinking.
