This could actually save me a lot of work! Would like to use her and make a few modifications so that the appearance is like WWI - era; that way I can use in Wolves of the Kaiser: 1914 - 1918. I will make sure to credit you if you accept; thank you! Looks very nice.

"Hannover took part in a large fleet parade in the Baltic on 20 May 1931 for President Paul von Hindenburg. She made her last trip abroad in June, when she visited Bergen, Norway. She participated in the autumn maneuvers that year, which concluded with a naval review for the outgoing fleet commander, VAdm Iwan Oldekop, on 11 September. During the maneuvers, Erich Raeder, the chief of the Reichsmarine, came aboard the ship. The ship thereafter went to Kiel, where she was decommissioned on 25 September. The ship was struck from the naval register in 1936, after which the navy intended to rebuild Hannover for use as a target ship. The conversion never occurred. Instead, she was used in explosive tests.[49][50] Ultimately, the ship was broken up between May 1944 and October 1946 in Bremerhaven. "

Well, they tested explosives on her, she was decommissioned in 1931 and struck from naval register in 1936. Maybe she was afloat in 1939, but...
