Heading Into Battle With More AA Guns
Germany’s Z Class destroyers were built just prior to the start of WWII and saw combat against British destroyers at Narvik in northern Norway and as escorts for the battlecruiser Scharnhorst’s last sortie. The Type 1936A ships had their 12.7cm guns replaced with 15cm guns, and the Z37-39 ships in particular were fitted with a twin turret at the bow. In 1944, a plan to increase anti-aircraft armament on the Z Class destroyers, code-named “Barbara,” was put into action. These destroyers fought against the mighty Royal Navy until the end of the war.

I got 3 rats from here and they are super healthy and very good with handling! I was texting the owners for a couple days about the rats and they had very quick replies. Had so many stuff in the shop for cheap! Basically anything you need for any pets. Heaps of cages. Heaps of food. And great customer service! Spoke to me the whole time about what rat I wanted and where I came from. Will definitely be coming here every week!
