Sister ship to the Bismarck, the Tirpitz was 2,000 tons heavier and thus the heaviest warship to have ever been produced by a European navy. She served in Norway and the Baltic Fleet acting as a potent deterrent. The Tirpitz became an obsession for the British. After the sinking of the Bismarck, the Tirpitz, as Germany’s most powerful warship, was destined to spend much of the war in port.After the daring St Nazaire raid by the British, it was deemed unfeasible to use Tirpitz against the Atlantic convoys of the Allies. Instead, she was used sparingly, as a deterrent against Allied invasion in Norway and to intercept Allied convoys to the Soviet Union. In September 1943, along with the battleship Scharnhorst, she bombarded Allied positions on Spitzbergen. This was the only occasion the mighty battleship fired her main battery in anger.Models supplied unassembled and unpainted Ship for Victory At Seas Assembly and painting required ASIN B094TMHKYV Size Large Genre Wargame Theme Occasion Edition Standard Edition Brand Name Warlord Games Unit Count 1.0 Count Item Weight 3.36 ounces Manufacturer Warlord Games Model Number 742411011 Power Source Battery Powered Material Type Cardboard, Paper, Plastic Item Dimensions 3 x 12 x 9 inches Number of Items 1 Included Components Map Is Assembly Required No Age Range Description Adult Are Batteries Required No Manufacturer Part Number 742411011 CPSIA Cautionary Statement Choking Hazard - Small Parts Manufacturer Minimum Age MONTHS 168.00
