Hipper, Admiral

German heavy cruiser of World War II. During the invasion of Norway 1940 it was rammed by a British destroyer, HMS Glowworm, which sank as a result. It remained in Norwegian waters as part of the German force harassing Allied convoys to the USSR.

An attack led by the Hipper December 1942 caused the Battle of the Barents Sea, a disaster for the Germans which caused Hitler to decommission most of the German Navy's major warships.
