Scharnhorst and Gneisenau

Largely overshadowed by Bismarck and Tirpitz, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were Germany's most successful battleships of the Second World War. This is the story of the two ships from their conception through to their involvement in the invasion of Norway, raids against Allied merchant shipping, Allied attempts to sink them, and their respective ends.
