Summary

Description
English: The German heavy cruiser DEUTSCHLAND (later re-named “Lützow”). One of three heavy cruisers of the Deutschland Class (sister ships ADMIRAL SCHEER and ADMIRAL GRAF SPEE). Deutschland was built by the Deutsche Werke shipyard at Kiel, being laid down on 5 February 1929. She was launched on 19 May 1931 and commissioned on 1 April 1933. Following the scuttling of the ADMIRAL GRAF SPEE in the River Plate estuary on 17 December 1939, Hitler ordered the DEUTSCHLAND to be renamed LUTZOW, to avoid the possibility of the loss of a ship bearing the symbolic name of Germany. She was scuttled on 4 May 1945 at Swinemunde after suffering heavy damage from near misses from 'Tallboy' bombs dropped by the RAF. The ship was raised by the Soviets and sunk during weapon tests in 1947.
