Boat box Bismarck + Tirpitz 1/400 Heller

The BISMARCK was ordered on 1 July 1936 from the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg. Launch took place on 14 February 1939 and commissioned on 24 August 1940. The major operation in which the Bismarck participated was "Operation Rheinübung" in May 1941, together with the Prinz Eugen, with the aim of waging a trade war in the North Atlantic against Allied convoys. During the battle of 27 May 1941, the Bismarck was hit several times by torpedoes. HMS Dorsetshire hit the starboard side with two torpedoes and another torpedo to port, causing the end of the Bismarck. The ship sank about 550 nautical miles west of Brest. TIRPITZ was laid down on 2 November 1936 in Wilhelmshaven. She was launched on 1 April 1939 and commissioned on 25 February 1941. Thanks to some improvements to her construction, the Tirpitz was heavier than her sister Bismarck and remains to this day the largest battleship ever assembled in Europe. "Operation Rösselsprung" was conducted from 2 to 5 July 1942 against the Anglo-American convoy PQ 17 and included the ships Tirpitz, Admiral Hipper, Admiral Scheer and smaller units. On 12 November 1944, the ship was hit three times in air attacks and sank near Tromsø.
