One of the measures taken immediately by the High Command of the DKM was to tell Blohm & Voss to speed up the finishing of BB Bismarck , then in the final stages of completion. Several future crewmember mainly of the electronics and the engines and propulsion areas, but also communications and "live...
After the URSS got sure Germany had (alledgedly) no interest in the Baltic region, the reasons of which were already explained on a previous post (the "background" of which I took from the invasion of Kuwait from the part of iraq in Gulf War I...), on November 30, 1939, the Soviet troops started an ...
The Maomatic/Krakatoa Deutschland class drawing you are using is from my Dual Purpose Kriegsmarine series. The secondary armament would be 10x5" DP guns in single mountings.
A missile-equipped Panzerschiffe? Awesome! Andreas, the nazis had the idea to launch rockets from ships, but since they'd be vertically launched, the overall lack of stability made that impossible. They tried "The Dome" instead... or "La Coupole", as the French say, in whose territory that thing wa...
DKM Deutschland spent the first three years in sea trials mainly in the North Sea and in the Baltic, visiting several major ports, except for some four periods during which the situation in Germany was very unstable, when the nazis under Karl Dönitz and a group of "nazi strong men" nearly reconquere...

I take some lines of Wikipedia just to put the ship in context, as well as a drawing of two SB members (because better it could not be done and as I think you all know my main go...
What was (in my AU) the real situation of the "Deutsche Kriegsmarine" as of mid 1939? The already referred AGNA had been signed in late 1937 with the UK, in effect throwing the limitations written down in the Treaty of Versailles to the paper basket. However, the new government of the Prussian gener...
Love the new design...can't wait to see the finished product! Thanks, Andreas. But I'd like to hear more from you... What do you think of the design itself? Does it fit into the era (mid-40s)? I changed the armament, because initially there was too little AA artillery. How now? And... have you been...
Thanks, but I like to see the comments here, with the drawing in front of me. This way others can also see if there is any mistake to avoid them making it themselves eventually. Thanks for the tip. Btw: You could do me a favor, edit your post and remove the tag for the picture, because it is not any...
