EISMEER PATROL The Kriegsmarine Portfolio
by Anthony Saunders
The Tirpitz 11 March 1943
On the morning of 11 March 1943, Fw190s from IV./JG5 took off from their base to escort the mighty battleship Tirpitz and a screening fleet of escort destroyers and torpedo boats, at the start of a voyage north to Bogen Bay during Operation Rostock. Intended to escape the increasingly frequent British bombing raids, Tirpitz would join an impressive German naval battle fleet gathering near Narvik.
Available individually or as a matching numbered pair with BREAKOUT as part of The Kriegsmarine Portfolio featuring two of the most legendary German battleships of World War II.
