[About the actual ship]
- Tilpitz was able to make its name as the main battleship of the German Navy with Bismarck in the Second World War.
- A huge battleship with a reference drainage exceeding 42,000 tons was built as Bismarck-class No. 2 ship, commissioned in February 1941.
- It demonstrated the power of the main gun with 48.5 caliber 38 cm interlocking artillery 4 guns for Spitz Bergen Island bombardment.
- After that, avoid the attack of the British Air Force and move into Norway's Alta Fjord.
- Although it never sorted out from the fjord, its presence continued threatening the Allied forces including the UK.
- In the UK repeated attacks repeatedly, such as air raids by small submarines and airplane aircraft, and in September 1944 a 5 ton bomb of Lancaster who had sorted out from Soviet territory hit and was severely damaged.
- Tilpitz, which was unable to repair due to injuries that would make it impossible for ocean navigation, was transferred to Tromsø in Norway and it was planned to land on the shore and to elevate it.
- But before the work was completed, in November again Lancaster was attacked and received a hit with a 12,000 pound bomb called Tall Boy, at last the hull rolled over and the sinking settled.
- Tilpitz, which was also called a solitary battleship, made a glare at the Allied Army based on the Norwegian fjord until it was sunk and became a major threat to the Allied Army by its existence alone.
