Lets see...
Germany: 2 Bismarck, 2 Scharnhorst, 2 1906 Deutchland class, and if you want to count slow heavy cruisers (I don't), 2 modern Deutschland class.

Britain: 2 Nelson, 5 Queen Elizabeth, 3 Revenge. But those three are mostly in reserve.

If the fight takes place in 1940, the Germans might have a chance, since the King George V class weren't ready yet; but they would have to catch the British off guard and get them one-by-one. I don't see this having much of a chance of happening because of aerial reconnaissance. A large group of German warships would probably be spotted, and the British would have time to organize.

Could be interesting to game, though.
