The first in a unique series of three ships, whose emergence had a significant impact on the development of both cruisers and battleships. Combining "battleship" guns with the size and speed of a cruiser, coupled with a huge range, she exemplified extremely dangerous ocean raiders. In the years following her completion, Deutschland undertook several voyages to the Atlantic and participated in the Spanish Civil War. At the beginning of World War II, she was deployed to disrupt Allied supply routes between Greenland and the Bermuda Islands.
