The Blücher Ship – A Brief History and Usage

The DKM Blücher was the second in a series of Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruisers used by the Kriegsmarine, the German Navy. Commissioned in 1939, the Blücher took part in Operation Weserübung — the invasion of Norway in April 1940. On April 9, 1940, the ship was sunk in the Oslofjord by Norwegian coastal batteries. Its history is an important part of the naval operations at the beginning of World War II, and the model of this ship is highly esteemed among modelers specializing in World War II subjects.
