In order to modernize the navy, a generalized Plan Z was developed and approved in 1939. It presupposed that war with Great Britain would begin not earlier than 1948, and the Kriegsmarine was planned to have 684 ships of various types by that time. However, several alternative variants of this plan were considered and rejected, including some less ambitious and costly, but with more realistic and promising results in a shorter term. The cruiser component of Plan Z consisted of 5 Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruisers and 12 Project P ironclads. The latter were the development of Deutschland-class “pocket battleships,” with a displacement of 25,500 tons, six 280-mm guns, and diesel power plants. It’s probable that this plan could have allowed for the evolution of the fascinating German cruisers of the 1930s, which had been designed under the restrictions of the Washington Naval Treaty. German engineers had two possible paths ahead of them. The first was to further modernize the “pocket battleships,” which would later result in Projects D and E, and in turn led to the creation of P-class. The second was to develop a series of sophisticated heavy cruisers starting with the head ship Admiral Hipper and ending with its upgraded variant—Prinz Eugen. The last two classic heavy cruisers from the Admiral Hipper class in the time of the Washington treaty—Seydlitz and LÜtzow—were laid down in 1936-1937, each with a total displacement of 20,000 tons and eight 203-mm guns. They had quite a few shortcomings, but their layout, specifications, and equipment became the basis for the development of cruisers around the world. They managed to anticipate the main trends that would emerge, including more sophisticated fire control and high versatility. In 1938, these traits were real prerequisites for the continued construction of cruisers carrying 203-mm artillery. The Krupp Consortium developed the three-gun turret SK L/56 for the same guns SK C/34 used on Admiral Hipper-class ships. The swiftly growing Kriegsmarine and its evolution highlighted the names of two significant Germans—Albrecht von Roon and Paul von Hindenburg. Hindenburg was a heavy cruiser of qualitative reinforcement and an escort ship for H-class battleships. The main battery turrets had a classical layout: two turrets on the aft and two on the bow, one behind and slightly higher the other. An arrangement like this allowed the ship to use half of its primary armament both when advancing and retreating. The broadside weight of 8,052 kg unleashed by SK C/34 guns made it a deadly enemy for cruisers that were built in the time of the Washington treaty. The guns were arranged in four turrets of three guns each, just like on Roon, which guaranteed Hindenburg the advantage over any class of heavy cruisers of that time, including the Buffalo project and Project 82 (1943) ships. Raiding was the secondary mission of the ship, for this reason Hindenburg kept reinforced torpedo armament—with four quadruple launchers installed on the upper deck, complemented by a decent stock of torpedoes. The cruiser was well equipped with dual-purpose artillery—carrying eight Dop.L. C/37 mounts with sixteen 105-mm SK C/33 guns. As any capital ship, Hindenburg had quite a powerful antiaircraft defense capability and, in addition to eight dual-purpose mounts, was equipped with the brand new AA system 55-mm L/77 Gerät 58. The ship carried seven coaxial 55-mm L/77 Gerät 58 Zwilling mounts and two single 55-mm L/77 Gerät 58 mounts. Unfortunately, Germans didn’t manage to develop a system of centralized target acquisition for these guns, and despite great ballistic characteristics, the fire efficiency was lower than expected. The mount was aimed and tracked targets with the help of two optical sights, one for training and the other for elevation. Shell traces were used to assist with adjusting fire. The rest of the small-caliber AA artillery included four coaxial 20-mm Flakzwilling 38 autocannons and nine quadruple Flakvierling 38 autocannons. Small-caliber mounts didn’t have central fire control—German antiaircraft gunners preferred to fire at multiple targets simultaneously, which is why it was battery commanders responsible for fire control. Hindenburg had the same aviation armament as Prinz Eugen—three Arado 196 floatplanes. Two were stored in a hangar with a sliding roof, while the third one stood combat-ready on the catapult under a cover.PaymentDelivery detailsTerms of salesFeedbackContact usPaymentSpecial financing available Select PayPal Credit at checkout to have the option to pay over time.
