Tirpitz: The Life and Death of Germany's Last Super Battleship vs (same title save for the last words) Great Battleship

Hello,

I'm very interested in history of the German battleship Tirpitz, and was thinking about getting a book on the subject. I came across two books - one of them is the 2009 Tirpitz: The Life and Death of Germany's Last Super Battleship - the other is the 2018 Tirpitz: The Life and Death of Germany's Last Great Battleship.

It is my understanding that Tirpitz: The Life and Death of Germany's Last Great Battleship is a revised edition of Tirpitz: The Life and Death of Germany's Last Super Battleship (at least the certain passages in a limited preview that I saw of both books had parts that were identical to each other), but what exactly is different about them? Tirpitz: The Life and Death of Germany's Last Super Battleship is 360 pages while
Tirpitz: The Life and Death of Germany's Last Great Battleship is 336, so there clearly are some differences.

Could someone who owns copies of both books help me out. :milsmile:

I can't help with those books I'm afraid but if you don't have this series of books then they are worth getting:

And Target Tirpitz by Patrick Bishop covers all the British attacks against the battleship.
