German cruiser BlĂĽcher



The German Admiral Hipper class heavy cruiser, Blücher, was the Kriegsmarine's newest ship at the outbreak of World War II. She was sunk by Norwegian shore defences at the Battle of Drøbak sound on April 9 1940, less than three years after her launch, on the first day of the invasion of Norway (Operation Weserübung).
