The Blucher was a German heavy cruiser, the keel of which was laid in 1935 and launched in June 1937. The cruiser entered the rope service of the German Navy (German Kriegsmarine) in September 1939. The ship was 206 m long, 21.8 m wide, and had a full displacement of 18,200 tons. The cruiser Blucher's top speed was around 32-33 knots. The main armament was 8 203 mm guns in four twin turrets, and the secondary armament included: 12 105 mm guns or 16 37 mm cannons.

The Blucher was the second Admiral Hipper class ship. Cruisers of this type were ordered to significantly strengthen the Kriegsmarine's heavy forces. They emphasized the greatest possible autonomy, and the artillery armament was rather typical of heavy cruisers of the late 1930s. The combat career of the cruiser Blucher was very short and tragic. It was used for the first time in combat in Operation Wesserubung, i.e. the attack on Norway in April 1940. However, in the course of an exchange of fire with Norwegian coastal batteries, the Blucher was seriously damaged, and shortly afterwards successfully finished off by torpedo boats in the Oslo fjord on April 9, 1940. Despite sinking relatively close to the shore, the cruiser dragged from 600 to about 1,000 people to the bottom with it.
