Battleship Gneisenau History:

Gneisenau  was a German capital ship, alternatively described as a battleship and battlecruiser, of Nazi Germany’s Kriegsmarine. She was the second vessel of her class, which included her sister ship, Scharnhorst. The ship was built at the Deutsche Werke dockyard in Kiel; she was laid down on 6 May 1935 and launched on 8 December 1936. Completed in May 1938, the ship was armed with a main battery of nine 28 cm (11 in) C/34 guns in three triple turrets. Plans were approved, once construction had started, to replace these weapons with six 38 cm (15 in) SK C/34 guns in twin turrets, but as this would involve a lot of redesign, construction continued with the lower calibre guns. The intent was to make the upgrade in the winter of 1940–41, but the outbreak of World War II stopped this.

Gneisenau and Scharnhorst operated together for much of the early portion of World War II, including sorties into the Atlantic to raid British merchant shipping. During their first operation, the two ships sank the British auxiliary cruiser HMS Rawalpindi in a short battle. Gneisenau and Scharnhorst participated in Operation Weserübung, the German invasion of Norway. During operations off Norway, the two ships engaged the battlecruiser HMS Renown and sank the aircraft carrier HMS Glorious. Gneisenau was damaged in the action with Renown and later torpedoed by a British submarine, HMS Clyde, off Norway. After a successful raid in the Atlantic in 1941, Gneisenau and her sister put in at Brest, France. The two battleships were the subject of repeated bombing raids by the RAF; Gneisenau was hit several times during the raids, though she was ultimately repaired.

In early 1942, the two ships made a daylight dash up the English Channel from occupied France to Germany. After reaching Kiel in early February, the ship went into drydock. On the night of 26 February, the British launched an air attack on the ship; one bomb penetrated her armored deck and exploded in the forward ammunition magazine, causing serious damage and many casualties. The repairs necessitated by the damage were so time-consuming that it was determined to rebuild the ship to replace the nine 28 cm guns with six 38 cm guns in double turrets. The 28 cm guns were removed and used as shore batteries. In 1943, Hitler ordered the cessation of conversion work, and on 27 March 1945, she was sunk as a blockship in Gotenhafen in German-occupied Poland. She was eventually broken up for scrap in 1951.

    This has been a very fun build. Great block fitting and very well thought out. I was also very pleased with how quickly Warbricks was able to fulfill my order and quickly get it in my eager hands. Great build, get it, get it here, you will not be disappointed.

    Another masterpiece by COBI. I would highly recommend this set if you are a devotee of history and brick building. This set was lots of fun to build. This was my first purchase through Warbricks and it was a pleasure. I’ve been building COBI for years and typically by the sets when in Europe directly from COBI itself or one of its retailers. Warbricks is economical, easy to work with, just a first rate organization. You won’t go wrong making a purchase with them! I highly recommend them and COBI products.

  3. Sean Price

    Honestly outstanding build from start to finish, This build keeps you on your toes with many interesting techniques involving brick placement with a variety of pieces and it shipped in a very timely manner as I received this set for my birthday. Now that I have it all put together I can say that it was well worth every penny and the time spent crafting it
    My one query is that while the instructions specified that it came with 26 mini gun barrels for the secondary armament (piece serial number 115110) I found that it came with only 24 as one of the turrets was left incomplete. regardless of that I’m very happy with the product and will likely continue to purchase COBI brick sets from warbricks well into the future!

    Outstanding kit, looks perfect next to her sister ship Scharnhorst. I wish I could leave a photo to show the awesomeness. If you’re on the fence, buy the ship. I was one part short, but COBI made that right. I’m beyond happy

  5. Kevin Johnson (verified owner)

    Awesome ship. Only just started but it’s my 3rd Cobi ship. Warbricks shipped very quickly.

  6. Dan McQueen

    Fast delivery and quality build. Highly recommend for any battleship enthusiasts

  7. John (verified owner)

    Cobi always has great products and great imaginative builds. I have all the battleships and have enjoyed building them all! I highly recommend Cobi products and Warbricks. Warbricks always keeps me updated on new products.

  8. Eva M (verified owner)

    This kit, along with others we have purchased, are all awesome. Nice to be able to get these type of ships (i.e. WWII). Even though war is a bad thing, this is a way to be able to remember the sacrifice that occurred in hopes that it will never happen again. Erasing the past means it will not be remembered and then can be repeated. Cobi, and Warbricks, thank you for helping us remember 🙂

    COBI ship models keep getting better and better. Great build for the price.
