Plastic kit of the German battlecruiser Gneisenau.
Template information
Gneisenau was a German battlecruiser, named after the Prussian general August von Gneisenau. Her sister ship was Scharnhorst. In late 1939, Gneisenau operated with Scharnhorst in the Atlantic before being damaged in a storm.
In 1940, Gneisenau took part in the invasion of Norway. In the British campaign, she and Scharnhorst sank the British aircraft carrier HMS Glorious. In 1941, she sank 22 ships in the North Atlantic, but both vessels were later damaged by RAF raids on Brest.
During 1942, Gneisenau was again escorted by Scharnhorst and the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen. She was again hit by air raids in Kiel. During subsequent repairs in 1942–1944, Gneisenau was partially rearmed, but did not see combat again. In the spring of 1945, Gneisenau was scuttled to block the entrance to the port of Gdynia.
