She served in Norway and the Baltic Fleet, acting as an effective deterrent. The Tirpitz became an obsession for the British. After the sinking of the Bismarck, the Tirpitz, as Germany's most powerful warship, was destined to spend much of the war in port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the daring British raid on St. Nazaire, it was deemed infeasible to deploy the Tirpitz against Allied Atlantic convoys. Instead, she was used sparingly, as a deterrent against Allied invasion of Norway and to intercept Allied convoys to the Soviet Union. In September 1943, along with the battleship Scharnhorst, she shelled Allied positions on Spitsbergen. This was the only time the mighty battleship fired her main battery in anger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe relentless British attacks would prove to be the undoing of the mighty ship. They launched many attacks on the ship, from midget submarines and two large-scale air raids. She was finally sunk in 1944 by Lancaster bombers armed with 12,000lb Tallboy bombs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 metal and Warlord Resin model. \u003cbr\u003eModels supplied unassembled and unpainted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48017766613235,"sku":"122412","price":19.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/8699\/8771\/files\/122412-victory-at-sea-tirpitz-742411011-1.webp?v=1781198765","url":"https:\/\/radaddel.de\/en\/products\/victory-at-sea-tirpitz","provider":"Radaddel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
