We now need the trade paperback, Pocklington guide to the panzerschliff , because pocklingtons pocket guide to pocket battleships is the perfect book descriptor

If you ever write a Star Trek novel, you need but a single letter for the alias, Mr Alexander Spocklington.

The only thing missing from that thoroughly impressive name is a generational designation, like "the third". Throw in an "esquire" or even better "professor" and you'll be able to intimidate anyone by merely introducing yourself. Oh, and the book looks great. 👍

Dammit, like an idiot I looked at this thing expecting to read "by Drachinifel" Channel logo must have snuck in there somewhere

My overdue visit to HMS Belfast was in January 2024, and was a Christmas gift from my wife. We went to see her together however my wife had the unfortunate oversight to wear a knee skirt so I had to always climb the ladders behind, as to not reveal her bum to the cohorts of kids going around 😂. A fantastic visit (my first time onboard a warship), with a mug and book as mementos. Can't wait for your book to come out and hoping for a signed edition as well

I just pre-ordered my copy! Looking forward to reading it and going through it with my kids. My son is on a British kick, so perfect timing.

Ohh shit, well now I gotta buy a copy! Looking forward to reading it Drach. You really are, no doubt, the hardest working man on YouTube….

Echoing another comment, I'd absolutely buy a Pocklington's Pocket Guide series of books like 'Battleships of WW2' or 'Destroyers of the Inter-war Years' with a summary chapter and then broken down by country with your 5 minute guides written down for each ship.

Congratulations!! Hope to see more in the future, maybe about Fleets as well? I found few books about the BPF, or certain classes of UK bbs (Like the G3/N3 Classes, the lost Generation by A. Clarke) or maybe a colab with the Doc Clarke? Cheers

I’ll definitely need to get this, as I haven’t read up on Belfast that much, and I love your videos so it should be a great read

I might be a moron but I was confused why you called it your book, like it was going to have "Drach" as the author. "Who is this Alexander dude?"

Can’t wait for the signed edition here in the States. My finger’s poised over the “Buy Now” button! Congrats, Drach.
