Follow and Wishlist our game on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/3606970/Brass_Rain/ It’s December 1943. The intrepid German battleship Scharnhorst sails through the freezing cold waters of the Barents’ Sea, hoping to intercept a British convoy heading for the Soviet Union. The convoy’s been surveilled by the U-Boats, but what the Germans don’t know is that the British codebreakers are onto them, and that the Royal Navy is well-aware of their intentions and laying an ambush. This is the story of how the mighty Scharnhorst met its demise. Historical sources: Konstam, Angus (2009). The Battle of North Cape: The Death Ride of the Scharnhorst Winton, John (1983).
