Hi,
just a quick post showing the progress I made on "Panzerschiff Deutschland" / "Schwerer Kreuzer Lützow":
The first drawing depicts "Deutschland" during the "Ibiza incident".
In the early evening of 29th May 1937, she attacked by a combined naval and air attack of Spanish Republican forces.
She was hit by two 50kg bombs, killing 31 of her crew.
Her sister ship "Admiral Scheer" bombarded the Spanish port of Almería in retaliation.

The second drawing shows the now renamed and re-rated heavy cruiser "Lützow" during the invasion of Norway.
On her return trip to Germany she sustained heavy damage after being struck by a torpedo fired by the British submarine "HMS Spearfish".
The torpedo hit almost tore her stern off and left the ship without propulsion and steering. Lützow was towed back to port and underwent repairs, which lasted for nearly a year.
