Admiral Graf Spee & Admiral Scheer

The Deutschland-class warships were relatively small by battleship standards, but were well armored and carried the type of armament traditionally seen only on battleships. This led to them being nicknamed the "Pocket Battleships". The Admiral Scheer, excellent merchant raider, successfully navigated the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, disrupting merchant shipping wherever she went, while the Admiral Graf Spee was known to be cornered during the Battle of the Plate River and scuttled herself soon after.
