Background
About the ship
The second Bismarck-class battleship, Tirpitz, was built in Wilhelmshaven. A shortage of fuel and the fear of losing another large ship after the sinking of Bismarck were the reasons why this battleship wasn't very active during the war. Tirpitz attempted to attack Arctic convoys but encountered resistance. In autumn 1944, the battleship was struck twice by 6-ton bombs that almost incapacitated her, and then she was ultimately sunk by British Lancaster-type bombers.
