Description

Deutsch: Der Schwere Kreuzer Admiral Hipper bei der Besetzung Norwegens, vermutlich beim Ausladen der Truppen in Trondheim. Das Schiff ist auf keinen Fall der schwere Kreuer Lützow wie in der org. Beschreibung, denn der wurde noch unfertig an die Sowjet Union verkauft. Das Panzerschiff Lützow scheidet ebenfalls typbedingt aus und da Blücher vor Oslo versenkt worden war, Prinz Eugen noch nicht im Einsatz, bleibt nur Admiral Hipper als Motiv auf diesem Foto.
English: Heavy cruiser Admiral Hipper landing troops in Norway in 1940. Original caption reads "Heavy cruiser Lützow" - but as the heavy cruiser Lützow had been sold to the soviet union and the only remaining ship named "Lützow" was a pocket battleship, the only heavy cruiser that was active landing troops in Norway in 1940 was the Admiral Hipper, as sister ship Blücher had been sunk and Prinz Eugen was not on active duty before 08/1940. Also observe the scars on Hippers starboard bow, scars that appeared enroute to Norway april 1940.
