More Details

She conducted a raid into the Atlantic Ocean in 1939, with limited success, before being renamed to Lutzow in 1940. She spent most of the war operating in and around Norway, where, during the invasion, she was damaged by the same defenses that sunk Blucher. She and the Heavy cruiser Admiral Hipper took part in the Battle of the Barents Sea in 1942.
Later in the war, she operated in support of German land forces on the Eastern front. She was sunk by RAF bombers in April 1945.
