		With war declared Hipper often lurked in the dangerous North Sea with his Battlecruiser Squadron, and met with success during raids in the early stages of the war.
		Having decided to try and repeat his earlier success at Scarborough, Hipper was in the process of sailing to Britain in January 1915 when, following the interception of radio traffic, the British, led by Admiral Beatty, intercepted him at the Battle of Dogger Bank.
		With the war lost Hipper oversaw the surrender of the High Fleet to the British; he retired from active service in December 1918.

	Battle of Jutland
		Hipper's five battlecruisers promptly registered hits on three of the six British battlecruisers; nearly 10 minutes passed before the British managed to score their first hit.
		At 16:00 she was smashed aft by three 11 inch (280 mm) shells from von der Tann, causing damage sufficient to knock her out of line; but not realizing this, von der Tann landed another 11 inch (280 mm) salvo on one of her 12 inch (305 mm) turrets at near-maximum range.
		The battlecruiser action intensified again: at 16:25 Queen Mary was hit by what may have been a combined salvo from Derfflinger and Seydlitz, and she disintegrated in a magazine explosion with all but nine of her 1,285 crew lost.
