Armed Merchant Raiders Cruisers

I've only recently learned of the successes of the German armed merchant cruiser force. Very impressive stuff.

I'm very interested in drawings, plans and pictures of these vessels. Especially the arrangements of their concealed/disguised gun & torpedo systems.

The link above lists the following as the books from which more info can be obtained.
Which of these books are best for pics, drawings, etc, etc???
