Well I would say its either the Hipper or the Blucher as the Scharnhorst in the game is basically the Bismark anyway - size wise -with superstructure changes,

The Hipper took part in the norway invasion so was around Kiel area at the time

Could be the Blucher as that was sunk 9th April 1940 during the Norway assualt - Blücher sailed along with the Emden to rendezvous off Kiel with the rest of Kampfgruppe V, this comprising the heavy cruiser Lützow (originally the Panzerschiffe Deutschland), Torpedo Boats Möwe, Albatros, Kondor and the 1st Minesweeper flotilla

Couldnt be the original ( Hipper class ) Lützow. Lützow was sold to the USSR on the 11th February 1940. On the 15th April 1940 she was towed to the Ordzhonikidze ship Yard at Leningrad.She didnt have any guns till 41

The Prinz Eugen wasnt commissioned till 1st August 1940

Basically take your pick lol
