Battleship Scharnhorst
|
||
 |
|
The Scharnhorst battleship of 31,000 tons nearly always operated with sister ship Gneisenau. Such was the threat posed by these ships to the Allies that they were continually being attacked by British Aircraft. On one outing they sank twenty-two merchant ships from one convoy which had disperse. Scharnhorst took part in a dramatic and bold escape up the English Channel from Brest to Germany. Finally cornered between two groups of British warships off Norway's North Cape, she was sunk in a night action in December 1943. |
