DKM Lutzow

Lützow, originally named Deutschland, was the first German battleship built after the World War I. Its size and characteristics where severely limited by Versailles Treaty. Two other ships were built in its class, which was termed 'Panzerschiff' or 'Deutschland' class battleship, designated as pocket battleship by the British.

It was renamed from Deutschland because Adolf Hitler feared that it would be sunk in the imminent invasion of Norway, causing a significant psychological defeat.
