The Gneisenau was a German battleship from the Second World War, commissioned on 21 May 1938. Both the Scharnhorst and the Gneisenau represented a new class of German battleships. They were characterised by their larger dimensions, greater speed and more powerful armament. They were built in response to the expansion of the French navy. The Gneisenau took part in many combat operations, including the famous Operation Berlin in 1941, where it proved highly effective. It was scuttled in Gdynia on 28 March 1945 to block the harbour.
