Admiral Hipper Naval art prints of the German Navy

Admiral Hipper was laid down at the Blohm and Voss works at Hamburg in July 1935. She was the first ship of her class, being launched on the 6th February 1937. After she was completed on 29th April 1939, she undertook trials and training in the Baltic before commencing modifications towards the end of the year at Hamburg. These included the addition of a funnel cap and the increasing of the rake to her bow. Further changes followed in early 1940 before she joined the active fleet on 17th February 1940.

Hippers first and uneventful operation (Nordmark) was to hunt down allied merchantmen off Scandinavia, along with the battlecruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau in late February 1940.  In April 1940, she participated in Operation Weser (the invasion of Norway). During the capture of Trondheim, Admiral Hipper and her destroyer escort attacked the British destroyer HMS Glowworm.  Damaged, Glowworm rammed the Hipper before she blew up and sank.  The 40-metre hole torn in Hippers hull did not prevent her from completing her mission before repairs were carried out at Wilhelmshaven.     

The Attack on the Admiral Hipper by HMS Glowworm by Ivan Berryman.

HMS Glowworm, burning severely after receiving hits from the mighty Admiral Hipper, is depicted turning to begin her heroic sacrifice off the Norwegian coast on 8th April 1940. Hugely out-gunned and already crippled, Glowworms captain, Lieutenant-Commander Roope rammed his destroyer into the side of the Admiral Hipper, inflicting a 40 metre rip in its armour belt before drifting away and exploding. 38 British sailors were rescued from the sea and Roope was awarded a posthumous VC for his bravery, the first earned by the Royal Navy in WWII.
