Admiral Scheer: Das Panzerschiff, das Churchills Albtraum wurde

Admiral Scheer: The Battleship That Became Churchill's Nightmare The battleship Admiral Scheer was the most successful German surface combatant of World War II. In a single five-month voyage, it crossed the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, sank seventeen ships, and escaped without a trace despite a massive British search involving cruisers and an aircraft carrier. It bombarded Soviet Arctic ports, fought on the Eastern Front, and finally sank in Kiel in April 1945 under British bombs. Music: Eyes of Glory – Aakash Gandhi, Duty Calls – Rod Kim.
