The Tirpitz is indeed docked at Willy at the beginning of the war. I've passed her many a time on my way in and out.

But she'll be operational by the spring of 1942 when she's sent to Norway to serve as a potential threat against Allied shipping in the Arctic.
Of course, should know that as I'm currently reading "Arctic Convoys 1941-1945"
