	Battleship Tirpitz, Battleship Scharnhorst
		In February 1944, while she was under repair, the German battleship was the target of a raid by Soviet bombers that produced one near-miss.
		Scharnhorst, a 31,100-ton Gneisenau class battleship, was built at Wilhelmshaven, Germany.
		In a three-hour battle in the frigid Arctic seas, the German battleship was battered by gunfire and sunk by torpedoes.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/German battlecruiser Scharnhorst
		Scharnhorst was a famous World War II 31,500 tonne Gneisenau class battlecruiser of the German Kriegsmarine, named after the Prussian general and army reformer Gerhard von Scharnhorst and to commemorate the World War I armoured cruiser SMS Scharnhorst that was sunk in the Battle at the Falkland Islands in December 1914.
		Scharnhorst's first wartime operation was a sweep into the Iceland-Faroes passage in late November 1939 with Gneisenau in which she sank the British Armed Merchant Cruiser HMS Rawalpindi.
		Unfortunately for the Germans, their orders had been decoded by the British codebreakers and the Admiralty were able to direct their forces to intercept.

	Gerhard von Scharnhorst Summary
		On Nov. 12, 1755, G. von Scharnhorst was born in Bordenau, the son of a former sergeant.
		Scharnhorst, recalled to the king's headquarters, refused a higher post but became Chief of Staff to Blücher, in whose vigour, energy, and influence with the young soldiers he had complete confidence.
		In this battle, Scharnhorst received a wound in the foot, not in itself grave, but soon made mortal by the fatigues of the retreat to Dresden, and he succumbed to it on 28 June 1813 at Prague, where he had travelled to negotiate with Schwarzenberg and Radetzky for the armed intervention of Austria.

		Unknown to the Germans, the British cruisers had to be scuttled after the battle as well because of the damage archived by the destroyer attack.
		The Germans muster 8 battered destroyers (survivors of the first Narvik battle) in a desperate attempt to thwart the British attack.
		In December 1943 the German battlecruiser Scharnhorst was sent into the arctic sea to intercept the Murmansk convoy JW55B, an operation that would lead to the destruction of the battlecruiser.

		By direct application to Napoleon, Scharnhorst evaded the decree of September 26, 1810, which mandated all foreigners to leave the Prussian service forthwith, but when in 1811-1812 France forced Prussia into an alliance against Russia and Prussia despatched an auxiliary army to serve under Napoleon's orders, Scharnhorst left Berlin on unlimited leave of absence.
		In this battle, Scharnhorst received a wound in the foot, not in itself grave, but soon made mortal by the fatigues of the retreat to Dresden, and he succumbed to it on 28 June 1813 at Prague, whither he had travelled to negotiate with Schwarzenberg and Radetzky for the armed intervention of Austria.
		Several German navy ships, including the World War I armored cruiser SMS Scharnhorst, the World War II battlecruiser Scharnhorst, and a post war frigate, as well as a district of the city of Dortmund, were named after him.

	German Navy Battleships
		German battlecruisers were generally somewhat different than their British contemporaries.
		German battlecruisers were fitted with 28cm (11") guns only until the Derflinger class of 1914, which carried 30.5cm (12") guns; the first British battlecruisers carried 12" guns, and from 1910 on they carried 13.5" or larger guns.
		Raiding German battlecruisers are intercepted by a larger squadron of British battlecruisers.

		A large blame in so few survivors must be put in the hands of the Allied vessels who after the sinking of the battlecruiser pulled out of the area, and left a large amount of Germans to freeze to their deaths in the cold water.

	History of the Scharnhorst Class
		I have included them because they fit into the battlecruiser type in every way except name: they were faster than any enemy battleship, carried less firepower than enemy battleships, and their protection left much to be desired.
		These two vessels were the most potent ships available to the Germans when the war started, which in itself speaks volumes about how unprepared Germany was for the war.
		Scharnhorst was sunk at the Battle of North Cape by the British battleship Duke of York and several cruisers.

	Potential Raids by German Battlecruisers
		Clearly, battleships and battlecruisers were cramped and uncomfortable due to insufficient shipboard berthing and messing facilities (as a result of these poor living conditions German crews moved into accomodations in barracks while in port).
		German battlecruisers may have spent their wartime careers from 1914-18 for the most part in the North Sea, Baltic, and Black Sea, but they were not strictly "short-range" ships.
		In fact, the German Naval High Command was so impressed with GOEBEN's performance in her "out-of-area" role that it had planned in the spring of 1914 to replace SCHARNHORST with MOLTKE as flagship of the East Asian Squadron.
