MMP Books 49036 Maritime: Scapa Flow. Home of the Royal Navy 1939-1945 EN is a unique publication dedicated to naval history enthusiasts and World War II modelers. The book, published in English in A4 format (softcover, 96 pages), serves as a complete and richly illustrated guide to one of the most famous British naval bases – Scapa Flow.

Scapa Flow, located in the Orkney Islands in northern Scotland, played a key role as the main base of the Royal Navy during World War II. Due to its significant distance from German airfields, the British fleet chose this location as the center of naval operations and as the starting point for Arctic convoys to the Soviet Union. Between 1939 and 1945, Scapa Flow was the scene of intense movements of warship flotillas and the base for missions touching upon some of the fiercest battles in the northern waters of Europe.

The publication MMP Books 49036 discusses in detail the strategic importance of the base, describes the daily life and activities of sailors, and explores the war operations conducted from this key site. Inside you'll find many original, archival photographs and maps – not only providing factual information but also allowing you to feel the unique atmosphere of those times.
