Historical background:
The battleship Tirpitz, a twin to the famous Bismarck, was the pride of the German Navy. Launched on April 1, 1939, it was intended to be Kriegsmarine’s key asset in the Atlantic – however, after the loss of Bismarck, Tirpitz was stationed in the northern waters of Norway, where it terrorized Allied Arctic convoys and successfully tied down Royal Navy forces until its destruction near the end of the war. It was targeted by numerous British attacks – aerial, naval, and submarine – and its sinking on November 12, 1944, by British aerial bombs, ended the chapter of the dreaded “Lonely King of the North.” This model lets you immerse yourself in this fascinating conflict and build one of the icons of the world’s naval fleets.
