Abstract

In 1939, shortly before the Second World War, the German pocket battleships Deutschland and Graf Spee were ready to start the so-called Corsican War in the Atlantic. These were fast, with great autonomy, excellent armour and powerful armament, which consisted of six 280 mm cannons. In addition, due to their firepower and limited displacement (around 10,000 tons), they were named that way. Thus, it was planned to designate them for the role of privateers, which had given so much fame to other German ships during the First World War, since they were in a position to effectively confront any warship that did not have the characteristics of a true battleship of about 35,000 tons of displacement.
