Language: German
Summary: "Schifffahrt im Bild – Standardfrachter des Zweiten Weltkriegs" (Shipping in Pictures – Standard Freighters of World War II) by Gert Uwe Detlefsen is a pictorial volume covering the cargo ships built and deployed in large numbers during the Second World War.
Using numerous photographs, drawings, and technical specifications, the book documents the development and deployment of standard cargo ships during the war years. It focuses particularly on freighters built in large series, which served to supply the warring nations and their armed forces.
Topics covered include:
The origins and design of standard freighters
Various ship types and classes
Shipyards and construction programs
Technical data such as dimensions, propulsion systems, cargo capacity, and speed
Service as merchant vessels and supply ships
Conversions and military use
The fates of individual ships during and after the war
The subsequent use or ultimate disposition of the ships after 1945
 
Detlefsen places special emphasis on visual documentation. The photographs show the ships under construction, in port, and in active service, while also conveying an impression of how wartime cargo shipping evolved.
