The

Pocket battleship. Built at Wilhelmshaven and laid down on the 16th May
1935, launched 3rd October 1936 and completed 7th January
1939. (refitted just after completion with a clipper bow
so called a Atlantic Bow increasing the length by 33 feet, (to 770 ft 8
inches) this took until September 1939. Scharnhorsrt was torpedoed
by a Royal Naval Submarine during the Norwegian campaign. repairs took
until October 1940. After repairs she acted with her sister ship
attacking allied shipping between January and Mrch1 1941. During the
"Channel dash" on the 12th February 1942 the Scharnhorst (along
with Gneisenau were mined but managed to reach the safety of the German
Port. her repairs took place at Kiel and were completed in October
1942. In March 1943 she was transferred to Northern Norway to
continue her commerce raiding on Allied shipping, But on the 26th December
1943, while attempting to intercept convoy JW-55B. she encountered a
large British Force of the battleship HMS Duke of York and the cruisers
HMS Belfast, HMS Jamaica and HMS Norfolk. Initially HMS Norfolk
engaged the Scharnhorst and a lucky hit knocked out the radar systems of
the Scharnhorst. soon after the Scharnhorst was engaged by the
Battleship HMS Duke of York along with the cruisers and was sunk with the
loss of 1,803 crew (she had been hit by a number of shells and 14
torpedoes. This engagement took place north east of the North cape.
Atlantic Comrades by Ivan Berryman The Scharnhorst is pictured in 1939 when she and her sister ship Gneisenau
menacingly prowled the North Atlantic. She is shown at dawn as two type VII
U-Boats glide towards her for a friendly rendezvous and to take on much needed
supplies, as well as a few of the luxuries that the tiny u-boats were simply too
small to carry. |
| Escort to the Scharnhorst by Simon Atack When the German battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau entered Brest in March, 1941, between them they had sunk a total of 22 ships during their North Atlantic operations. Laying in port however, they became a target for constant air attack, Scharnhorst being damaged by bombs, and in February 1942 the decision was made to break out with the famous Channel Dash. Scharnhorst led the flotilla in a daring passage through the English Channel, heading for the sanctuary of Wilhelmshaven. They all got through but, striking two mines en-route, it was March 1943 before the Scharnhorst was able to resume battle operations when, under heavy escort, she sailed for Norway. Simon Atacks panoramic seascape depicts a scene from Operation Paderborn as Scharnhorst ploughs through a lively swell with Fw190s of I./JG5, based at Oslo Fornebu, providing fighter cover. Steaming in company with destroyers Z-28 and Erich Steinbrinck, the mighty German battleship has departed Gotenhafen and is heading towards Bogen Bay, near Narvik in Norway. But Scharnhorsts days were numbered. On 26 December 1943 the huge battleship attacked a convoy off North Cape, but in the heavy seas Scharnhorst became detached from her destroyer escort. With the British Home Fleet aware of her position, and intentions, she was intercepted, the Britishbattleship Duke of York landing a barrage of 14-inch shells on the mighty German warship. The blows were fatal, the coup-de-grace coming shortly after, when 11 torpedoes sent the magnificent but deadly battleship quickly to the bottom. There were just 36 survivors.
