Tirpitz Museum (Norway)

[1][2][non-primary source needed] The museum has one of the largest collections of photos and artifacts from the battleship Tirpitz, a Bismarck-class battleship built for the German Kriegsmarine during World War II.

The battleship Tirpitz had served as one of the main threats against supply convoys sailing to Murmansk.

During the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany, a German naval base was established in the Altafjord to prevent convoys from the Western Allies from delivering supplies to the Soviet Union.

Tirpitz, which was one of the world's largest and most powerful battleships, was anchored for nearly two years in Kåfjord.

The timber building that the Tirpitz Museum is located in dates from approximately 1880.
