SMS Emden light cruiser was built by Kaiserliche Werft Danzig dockyard (nowadays Gdańsk in Poland). The construction process began in 1906, the launching of the ship took place on 26 May 1908. Together with SMS Dresden, she belonged to Dresden protected cruiser class. SMS Emden was put into service on 1 April 1910. Eleven days later she was sent to the German colony Qingdao (Tsingtao) in China. The destination was reached on September that year. There the ship was incorporated into German East Asia Squadron. In 1913 Lieutenant-Commander Karl von Müller took command of the ship. He was soon promoted to the rank of full Commander.

Incrociatore leggero Emden
Buon libro di un incrociatore leggero poco noto. Buoni i dettagli raffigurati. La cosa che personalmente non mi piace sono i disegni da poter vedere solo con gli occhialini 3D (in dotazione).

Wieder einmal beeindruckende Detailwiedergabe
Wieder einmal eine hervorragende Ausgabe dieser Heftreihe. Jetzt endlich der berühmten EMDEN gewidmet. Ein Vergleich mit den bekannten Fotos des Originals und seiner Schwestern ließ keine Fehler erkennen. Mit der beiliegenden 3D Brille kann man auf den letzten Seiten das Schiff sogar plastisch erleben. Dieses Heft ist ein Muss für den Modellbauer und für Freunde der grauen Schiffe.

Magnifique
Un livre indispensable pour un maquettiste ou modèliste. Avec les vues 3D on se croirai sur le bateau. A conseillé impérativement

Excelentes gráficos.
Un excelente libro de ilustraciones sobre el crucero ligero Emden. Se acompaña de unas gafas sencillas para obtener la sensación de 3D en algunos de los gráficos. Muy útil para hacer detalles en maquetas

The splendid Emden
Excellent books with short histories and superb artwork of the subject ship. Individual books have additional material such as scale drawings and some have 3D content (as does this particular edition) complete with glasses for viewing them. Superb for both content artwork and general appearance, these books bring the subject vehicle back to life in all their magnificent detail. Great for modeling, general information or simple viewing. Very pleased with the product and content.
