Episode 12 of Know Your Ship! In this educational video I cover the Deutschland Class Panzerschiffe commissioned by the Kriegsmarine before World War 2. They were built in order to appear as if the Kriegsmarine would not violate the Treaty of Versailles that limited the German Navy to ships under 10,000 tons. These "Pocket Battleships" were equipped with cruiser armour but battleship guns. The most famous ship of this class was the Graf Spee captained by Hans Langsdorff which fought at the Battle of the River Plate against three Royal Navy cruisers. Admirals, get to know these pocket battleships of the Kriegsmarine before taking command of them in World of Warships! Enjoy and see you all in battle!
