Thanks very much for the links. Great clips look at the description though.

The Tirpitz ... was the Third Reich's ultimate weapon. Sister to the Bismarck, she was the most successful WWII German battleship and the pride of Hitler's Navy. Secretly built off the Baltic coast in 1939, the warship spent the next five years terrorising the Allies in the Atlantic and Artic seaways, leaving entire convoys annihilated in her wake.
Nope, what about the V-2, Me-262 or the Tiger, or the Type XXI? Also it never sank a single merchant ship...though a case can be made fear of Tirpitz provoked the disaster of Convoy PQ17.
